I'd focus on your schoolwork (your core coursework and electives that you REALLY did well in) and your skills (managing your home, budgeting, keeping your family healthy [in other words, operational skills], nursing [fixing "boo-boo's", helping kids when they're sick, etc.]), just to name a few. However, don't put EVERYTHING on your resume, because it won't leave too much conversation topics for interviews. Leave enough for employers to be interested, yet enough so that they can't WAIT to talk to you in person! Get your suits/blouses/shoes ready in your wardrobe.

There are PLENTY of resume samples available online in ALL types of career fields, so check them out to help you figure out what yours should look like. Overall, put information/details on it that YOU are proud of accomplishing. Employers LOVE candidates who are confident without being cocky, so you'll find a way to sell yourself that works out best for YOU.

Good luck, God bless!

C.,
Congrats on your degree!
I would advise you to break away from the boring, old-standby format of Name, objective, education, work history, blah, blah, etc.
While all of that info needs to be worked in somewhere, the main focus should be on SKILLS and ACCOMPLISHMENTS. List the computer programs you have mastered and your level of use (proficient, working knowledge, etc.) as well as any award achievements, scholarships, etc. you have earned. You can also list personal strengths (organization, etc.).
Try to keep the resume to one page in length. I never want to wade through pages of info to get to the info I'm looking for. Also, make sure to include a cover letter that is specific to the recipient. Research the companies on-line before writing the cover letter. Sell yourself!
While the job market is tough, keep in mind that you only need to find ONE position! Best of Luck!
