    Hullo out there :spin:

    I am writing in the hopes that someone out there in the great wide world of nursing can direct me to a foreign educated nurse refresher course.

    I have seen said program mentioned many, many times in many a post. (repetitive I know, but quite intentional I assure you). The Texas BON also sites such a program. They cannot however recommend or even list any such programs. Someone called Nurseeducator here on this site claims to work for a center that provides such courses, yet does not provide any links.

    I am deeply frustrated. I am a foreign educated, but am an American citizen, so I don't need help with immigration. I am however struggling to get my CGFNS CES completed. I fear that that I will need to get some Peds experience before I can be licensed and have been trying to find out where and how I might do this.

    When I do find an association that might provide a glimmer of hope, it turns out that it is for Hispanic foreign nurses, and as I am not Hispanic, the sense of anticlimax is great.

    Please, please, if anyone out there knows anything that might be helpful, don't hesitate to let me know.

    Sincerely, moi.
