Resume Help please!

I'm at a loss and thought what better place to ask, than here! I'm currently in my last semester of nursing school, and have been told to start applying months in advance of graduation.
So, my question is do I hire a professional with experience in RN resumes to write mine? I'm not incompetant or lazy, I've written past resumes for myself and friends, but would like to know specifically what employers are looking for on paper?
