I need help in finding a refresher LPN course

Hi I'm new at this. I accidentally came across this site when i was searching on the net for a refresher course that I can take in Augusta Ga. for LPN. I've had no success. I relocated to Georgia from PA. I've been out of nursing for the last 5 years, since I had my daughter. I'm anxious to get back into nursing. I would highly appreciate it if anyone has any info to give me on this refresher course. Thank you.

Hi Eve007: Are you a LPN at this time? If not you may want to try a seach at the Technical schools. If I find anything I will post here.

Hello, try posting in your states forum as well. Good luck. :)

Try the South Dakota State University web site. They have an on line refresher for RN and LVN. You would only need to arrange for the preceptor hours after completion of the on line portion.

Hi Rnn2003, Yes I do have my NY State license. Georgia state won't send me a license to practice unless I take a LPN refresher course, since it's been a few years since I've worked as a nurse.

Thanks Teachernurse for the tip. I checked out some on-line refresher courses offered. I think I would feel more comfortable taking it in person though....thanks again

Call your state board of nursing and find out if they have a listing of schools that offer a refresher course. Or, call technical colleges in the area and see what they suggest. Good Luck!

Here is a link to the web page of the State of Georgia Board of Practical Nursing's list of approved LPN programs. Just move your pointer over it, click on it and it will take you to the webpage you will want to check out.

I suggest you find the schools closest to you and call their nursing departments and ask about refresher courses. If any exist it is likely they are connected to one of these schools. Another thing you can do is call around to the local hospitals and ask the people who hire for nursing if they know of any LPN refresher courses in your area. Good luck.

Thank you for the information, Daytonite. I will look into it. I never thought it would be this hard to get back into nursing ...yikes :)
