"Experienced at using a wide range of computer software" up to half a dozen relevant (and truthful) phrases.

If you have any relevant qualifications list them next. For example, if you have a qualification in medical terminology list it here.

Next list your employment history in reverse order, starting with the most recent. In this case you have been a restaurant manager. You are going to list your transferable skills - the skills that will be relevant to the job as a hospital administrator. For example your experience as a team member, your ability to keep records, etc.

It isn't necessary to make this bit over long. You've had 2 years experience as a full time hospital administrator give the details of that job. Then just give dates and job titles for jobs that didn't give you any other relevant experiences or skills that haven't already been listed. If you had any experience or training during your initial 2 years' in the hospital admin department when you were in college, list those too.

Now you need to write a separate CV for the restaurant manager job. List your skills, experience and training relevant to that job in full detail.

A focused resume will catch the employer's attention. A general CV, giving full details of both types of work and experience makes you look lazy and unfocused. It will look as if you can't decide which type of work to do and are just "fishing" to see if you can get a job offer. The employer will dismiss your resume and look for someone who is keen to do the particular job on offer.
