My Resume

I have decided to apply for a job as a CNA or HHA to work at while completing my schooling.  I made up a resume using a template on Office Word 2007.  Hmmmm....the formatting got kind of screwed up in the process of putting it on here, but you can basically see what it looks like anyhow.
I welcome any suggestions !!!!!!!!!!!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I was a caretaker for my elderly father in the last year of his life.  This enables me to see residents and clients as people who are beloved members to their families.  I think that this gives me a strong desire to ensure clients are treated with respect and care.  It was this experience of caring for him that inspired me to pursue a career in nursing.

Although I will be starting Nursing school this fall, I will be available to work PT throughout my schooling.  My classes are mostly online, with approx 4 days of onground clinical and labs monthly.
