Rn


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.
