   Karen, Could you also post a list of current Reactivation Courses? I have some data but my list is far from complete. In fact, Montogomery Area Community College in PA emailed me to tell me that they may have a course starting this year if the demand...

   SuzeeW replied to debbren's topic in Career Support

   It will all depend on how long your license is expired. What I was told by the Delaware State Board of Nursing was that since the expiration had taken place and I was out of practice for more than 5 years, I would have to return to PA and actually RE...

3. Why did his nurses do this?

   SuzeeW replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

   That is exactly why I miss Nursing so much. It doesn't matter what the patient or client gives US, it's what we have to give to THEM. What a wonderful post. Thank you for sharing that and I wish you all the best in your journey to becoming a nurse!

   Deb, my situation is a bit similar without all the locations. I was originally licensed in PA but moved to DE. My license was in good standing, I just didn't renew. DE won't allow me to become licensed unless I reactivate in PA. The Refresher Course...

   Lisa, you are SO SO right! And your words should be tatooed on every student nurse at her pinning ceremony! If I think about what I'm planning to do, I want to run screaming lol so I just smile and tell myself it will all be just fine :) What's drivi...

   It's a good thing, you have plenty of time to check out the requirements and utilize Suzanne's plan. From what I've read here, it sounds incredible! I moved from PA to DE and the hoops I would have to jump through would bankrupt me lol I've contacte...

   Hi, I second the advice to check each state's specific requirements. There is a huge difference between a refresher course and reactivation. I also allowed my license to lapse and moved to another state in the meantime. Being out of the field for 13 ...
