Unpaid Positions on ResumeRating: (votes: 0) Also, when filling out an application and it asks if I am currently employed is it lying if I say yes and include this as a job? This is an unpaid position and I don't want to lie, I guess I'm just confused about where I can include this since it is unpaid. Thank you all so much for your help! Sorry, caring for family members is not appropriate to list on your resume, no matter what type of tasks you are doing. It does not meet the definition of 'volunteer' either, since it is limited to family. You're helping out your family, not working for them. On the positive side, no one actually expects a new grad to have nursing experience. That's why we have formal programs for new grads. Comment: I agree, I would not list the care of family members on a resume. I spent my time prior to nursing school taking care of my sick mom, but I don't put that on resumes. First, none of my managers/co-workers need to know about my family issues and second I do not want my family issues to having any bearing on my being able to get a job. If I had volunteered at a clinic or something like that I would totally list it. However taking care of family members is not "volunteer" work.
