Nursing Student Career Preparation
The Wasserman Center for Career Development collaborates with the NYU College of Nursing to provide students with tools and examples of how to develop effective cover letters and resumes specifically for nursing students. Additionally workshops are implemented to provide students with tips on the job search and interviewing skills.

If you're developing your resume from scratch or want to refresh your resume think about the following:

• Develop your resume based on career options/specializations. Visit discovernursing.com or allnurses.com for more information.
• Research employment trends/resources. The Wasserman Center has The Vault Career Insider Guide to Nursing, available for download via CareerNet.
• Attend a workshop at our office to learn more about how nursing resumes should be created. For example, special sections and tips for marketing your experiences should be included.

If you think your resume is ready to go then you can start developing the respective cover letters and preparing for interviews. Conduct a mock interview with someone in the field or visit our office for more information on how to conduct nursing interviews. 

These tips are just the beginning. Utilize the resources in our office to help you get a jump start on preparing for your career in nursing!
