Nursing Refresher Program in QLD


Hello

I am wondering if anyone knows about the Nursing Refresher Program with QLD Health.

I am just wanting to know if anyone has utilised the program?

Thanks
Kylie

I haven't had experience with the QHealth program but a few years back started a 3 month refresher program at Greenslopes Hospital. Was terrible; no support and I was basically just an RN working autonomously, working with AINs and agency staff. I would have been better off just getting a job as an RN straight off, it was a waste of time TBH!

Q Health might be better though, given they are government based and not private. If you're thinking about a refresher program, I would make sure straight off the bat that you have support of a preceptor at all times, that you are never in charge and are there to learn, not teach.

I think it would be good if you get the program in government sector. They are quite organised. :-)
