  1. Your resume looks great! I have a few suggestions for you, my first would be to move your name and contact info into a header so that it appears on each page. You have a lot of great information throughout your resume, although I would try to condense it a little as readers may not be intrigued for that long. For example, for all clinical experiences except preceptorship I would try to limit the details to 3, this is because preceptorship is going to be the most important for employers and the others not so much. And possibly even cut back on your descriptors for the first page and a half. Other than trying to condense I think your resume looks really good.

  2. Dani, overall an impressive resume. You’re headers are appropriate and you use good verbs. My biggest suggestion is re-arranging some of the bullet points to really highlight your strongest and relevant experiences. For example, under your externship I think “recognized and interpreted clinical manifestations of pathological disorders/disease that required immediate intervention” could go above monitoring I/O’s for five patients. I would also like to see more specifics about some of your leadership experience. I know what the Leadership workshop is but many don’t, how many people went, what did it focus on.

    Otherwise, very good job!

  3. I think you did an amazing job with your resume. You covered absolutely everything that you could need or that a future employer would be looking for. The format is good and it is easy to follow, but there is a lot of information. This is not a bad thing, but they could potentially miss the more pertinent parts that you are trying to get across. My recommendation would be to maybe sit down and focus on what you really want and need in less words to make it seem like an easier read.

  4. This is a wonderful resume, Dani! I will always be impressed by how much work you have put into reaching your goals. For the future, I would recommend trying to condense your resume into shorter bullet points in a more concise manner, so it is easier for the reader to follow along. I would also recommend bolding the part of the resume that lets the reader know that clinical rotations are attached separately at the end so that it stands out more. Overall, I am very impressed with how much you have accomplished already, and the formatting of your headers and personal information look great! I would highly recommend consolidating your words, but otherwise this looks really well done.

  5. Hi Dani,
    Your resume is really impressive! You have gained lots of experience and put in hard work which shows. Your headers are organized and to the point, and you use lots of action verbs appropriately. You have also highlighted several strengths that would be desirable for a nursing career, and there are no obscure acronyms or unexplained job titles. I would recommend making putting your externship experience in your clinical experience section, and making it the first section of your resume. I would also suggest shortening your resume to 2 pages, prioritizing nursing experience directly. Overall great job!

  6. Hi Dani!
    What an amazing resume!! I believe you truly hit every benchmark for what is considered not only a great student nurse, but a great leader in many aspects, so kudos for you for being able to highlight your skillset and experience so comprehensively! Your formatting is so seamless with an ample amount of white space that still allows for all of your qualities to shine! In my eyes you meet all of the necessary elements to a perfect resume, and I am so looking forward to where you go, as it would be a privilege for any unit to have you! 🙂 -Faith
