I won't be graduating until may of this year ... but there is a huge career fair coming to my school just for the senior students ... most of the hospitals in the area will hire us before we even pass the NCLEX ... anyway ... long story short I'm working on my resume ... and being that I'm a student what do I put in it...

I work as a nurses aid and have for a few years ... but that is hardly enough for a resume ... do I just concentrate on my education? Some people suggested putting in specialty classes that I have taken such as Holistic nursing, nursing research, and what not...

Would I include clinical sites? I have spent time at a variety hospitals in the area ... or the area of nursing that interest me, Peds, LDRP, or Nephrology???

And finally do I include my goals? Like going for my masters?

Thanks in advance 🙂

All that sounds fine. Just put your education together in one section and experience together in another so it's easy to navigate. You could write "I'm a RN" on a piece of toilet paper and get hired, so I wouldn't worry too much.
