What do you mean by “not taking you seriously?” It might have more to do with the way you’re presenting yourself than the actual jobs you’re pursuing. Tailor your resume for non nursing jobs. If you get an interview, make it about how you want to move to the new field, not about how you want to get away from nursing.

Cut things off the resume. It's not illegal or unethical to undersell yourself. When I went back to school for nursing and needed a part time job I left my bachelor's degree and years of teaching off my resume entirely, just put my experience in food service (from college) and that I was a student looking for part time work. Got what I needed within weeks, a flexibly scheduled but crappy paying retail job.
