Re: Returning to Nursing
Licensed in 1980, RN/BSN 14 years all specialties and mostly ER / CCU (neuro/surg), after being out on disability for 13 years, I've took my

NCLEX and returned, and found without CURRENT clinical practice, I had to take the only job I was offered- I'm in Psych / chemical rehab for geri's X1 year now, I'd like to find a way to re-cert for ER or ICU (neuro/surg) again, but there are NO, I repeat NO clinical refresher classes within 80 miles of my home, and commuting would be an option, but I'm told clinical applications are on seperate day from classroom, and may be on evenings and week-ends, I can't hold down a job and do both... and with only 3 area hospitals, that don't offer any refresher course, what's a guy able to do? on the Treasure coast, Florida... feeling so trapped
