What's the rule regarding refresher courses?

[Vida]

Hi, I have been out of work for nearly 3 years as well (God its gone by fast) to stay at home with a child. I have been doing an adn RN program for the past year, and actually re-did and passed the NCLEX-PN in June because I want to get back to work. I feel like I have been keeping up so to speak, but it HAS been 3 years.

What's the rule? Is there a certain amount of time where it's required to do a refresher? I'm pretty confident in jumping back in and am happy to (and interested in!) job shadow for a while.

Thanks for your help!

If it matters I had been working for about a year.

Do you have an active nursing license? If so, there is nothing that you have to do other than apply for a job.

If not, you will need to check with the BON. Requirements vary from state to state an may be as little as paying a reinstatement fee or as extensive as taking a refresher course.

oh great! I have kept my license active. Thank-you!
