Today's
environment of health care has created a growing need for well-educated nurses.
You are needed now more than ever.
The Nurse
Refresher Course is a continuing education program designed to assist the
Registered Nurse and the Licensed Practical Nurse to return to clinical
practice. The focus of each course is on the practice of medical-surgical
nursing.
Course Prerequisites
An active
or a temporary Nebraska license as a Registered Nurse or a Licensed Practical
Nurse (preferably no more than ten to fifteen years inactive status) is
required. If more than 15 years has passed on inactive status, further
assessment of the prospective participant is required before gaining admittance
into the program. This assessment will
involve an interview with the coordinator/instructors of the Nurse Refresher
course.
Students
must have been previously or are currently licensed in the United States in
order to participate in the Nurse Refresher course. This course does not
provide adequate review for individuals who have not yet passed RN or PN NCLEX
(State Board Examinations).
Course Information
The course consists of three components including
self-study modules, skills laboratory, and clinical experience. The self-study
modules are completed at your own pace within the semester deadlines. The
skills laboratory day consists of a variety of interactive and hands-on
learning experiences. You will have individualized work with an instructor to
practice nursing skills such as venipuncture, naso-gastric tube insertion, and
physical examination. The final portion of the course includes a clinical
experience in various medical-surgical patient areas in the Omaha area.
The Nurse Refresher Course is offered spring, summer and
fall semesters. Semesters range from 12-16 weeks in duration. Students are
required to complete the course within the semester time frame.
