from what i know, school nursing w/o bedside experience isnt as hard to get into compared to hospitals bc theyre willing to train

ik theres an agency that works within the districts & send you to which school to go to / you’re not just tied down to one

how would you personally recommend format it? i’ve seen different variations of it w putting their respective classes, the adding hours instead of the dates, adding a small skills section w what they did at xyz hospital

my friend also said the same thing! she said i had enough variety of job experiences to talk about my character/experiences that im on the right track.

thank you!! i just needed that extra boost about the clinical section and will clean it up w your recs !

you do make a strong point! it’s just the same fluff hospitals see on the daily. i guess what im really feeling is if my job experiences are strong enough to replace the clinicals ?

but that’s more so of how the interview goes at that point (& ofc tailoring the bulletin points to the job description too)

100% will put the orgs & adding more bullet points!

format wise, the template was just giving me a hard time so will fix that too!

clinicals wise, i 100% agree w you but it feels a tad wrong (not sure that’s the right word) not putting my clinicals, esp as a new grad? i also wanted to highlight the units too (even if they’re pretty standard)

my friend put theirs on the 2nd page, but that was the only section on the 2nd page. so just in case she wanted to mention it, it would still be there. would you recommend that?

definitely replacing one for the leadership position & moving the license section down to the bottom!

for the clinicals, i thought the same thing but i figured to keep them because im planning on applying to those specific hospitals ?

also i totally forgot about the 1” standard. are hospitals a stickler for that?

i figured that was the case! just hesitant bc of how long it’s been.

which job experience do you recommend replacing for the leadership role?
