Returning to work after 3 years

[meldraand]

Hello everyone. I am an RN and living in Florida. I have been unemployed for the past 3 years due to medical reasons and I am excited, yet nervous about returning to work and not sure where to begin. My RN license is current, along with my CEU's and BLS certification. I want to renew my ACLS cerification as well in the near future. I have never written a resume (was hired as a Nurse Intern while in nursing school, then graduate nurse once I completed the nursing program, and when I passed the NCLEX, began working as an RN in SICU at the same hospital, therefore I didn't need a resume). Does anyone have any suggestions in regards to resume writing? Refresher courses? Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Don't be nervous and be confident. When writing your resume you should be sure about what you are writing. Your resume should contain at most three pages not more than it. And every thing in your resume should be point wise. Rest things will be Fine. All the best to you.
