Template or no template

(That is the question?) ...ok, I'm really starting to lose it with my resume. My current resume is an older Microsoft Word template and up until now, it has worked. But as of two weeks ago, I'm am now an RN and I want to stand out, obviously. My issue is, everywhere I find resume templates (word, google), I'm just not happy with any of the formats. Has anyone had any success using a plain Word document, and if so, any pointers on how to make it stand out? ...or if anyone has any links to some professional templates that aren't already easily accessible by google, any feedback is much appreciated!
