Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello everyone! Hope to get to exchange information and ideas with many of you. My name is Steven, living in Indiana but moving to Florida within the year. I received my RN in '93 and began to work as an ICU nurse. After about 2 years, I got an opportunity to work in entertainment. Chose to do that, now want to get back into nursing. My wife has been an RN for 12 years. I have an active license and I was wandering if anyone had any suggestions on how I might go about getting started. Some have said to get hired first and learn on the job. I think I need to maybe take a nurse refresher course. Some have said I should go online and get cd-roms like: Clinical Simulations in Medical-Surgical Nursing- and study them. If anyone has any suggestions, I could really use the advice....THANKS!

Why not try an internship? There are many hospitals that do this and it, from what I uncerstand, lasts about 2-3 months. That should be long enough to get back into the groove.

Good Luck!!!:)

You have been out for about 10 years, I think that a refresher course is really the best thing. So much has changed. I would not hire you without a refresher.
