Second degree - what to include in the CV?

Hello all!

Despite using the site to help research schools and other nursing questions, this is the first time I have ever posted. I am in a second degree accelerated program and am having issues with my resume; I graduate in 2 months and would like to have resumes sent out ASAP and I haven't received any great help or tips from anyone. With that being said, my main question is about clinical experience - how much and what do I include? I'm guessing all employer assumes you know how to care for ostomies, do wound care and dressing changes, care for complex patients, etc.

Thank you all so much for any suggestions you can give me. Anything will be helpful!

    I am a nursing student and have 2 previous degrees. I also have been working in the medical field for 13 years. Usually, for my resume, I divide it into three categories: education, work experience, & references upon request. Whichever category is stronger for you, education or medical work experience, put that first. In my opinion, an employer is not going to be interested in your clinical education. They will be more interested in your actual work experience and your education. Put your degrees and your work history. Don't worry about describing what you learned in nursing school, they already know. If you need a good template, go to microsoft.com. They have great CV and resume templates for download.

    Hope that helps.
