Thanks for the link. It's kind of stupid that our school teaches us resume and interview skills the last semester when we need to be applying thie winter!

Writing a great resumé is tough for a new grad. So can you imagine when it's a career change? I have 20 years of experience in Production Planning, Customer Service, Documentation in Construction Engineering, etc. Now how on earth do I combine this?

Mam I'm with you. But I have another twist...my most recent work experience, while all in the medical field as a medical coder/billing analyst or administrative asst all occured more than 12 years ago! For the last 12 years I have been a stay at home Mom! I will finish my ADN in May, 2008. Do I list the employment history that is medically relevant, but 12 years old?, do I write a resume like a new grad, ignoring previous experience? I'm totally lost! Any pointers anyone can give would be most appreciated!

I think the key is to not overwhelm hiring managers with your past experience on a resume. Just a few sentences to highlight skills that will still apply when you are a nurse.

The nursing process is similar to what happens in many corporate settings when planning and evaluating projects and campaigns: assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate.

Your customer service is valuable: you want to make sure every customer's experience is the best it can be (just like you will for your patients).

And you probably have supervisory experience as well (just as you will delegate to CNAs) and have worked with multiple teams to make sure projects are completed.

On my resume, after all my nursing school and CNA experience and education, I have just a few sentences about my past corporate life (key phrases in bold and company specifics deleted here). Now, I've been on a few nursing interviews, and no one has mentioned my past corporate experience, but it does show responsibility and longevity, and at least it makes me feel better that my past experience is not wasted.

I also have a lot of volunteer experience listed at the end of my resume. I think it adds a nice balance to the dry corporate stuff... especially because some of the organizations I've volunteered for have been health/disease related.
