i took a 6 month long distance learning nurse refresher class via internet through a community college, then did a 3 week clinical practicum to refresh my skills. It worked out very well for me. at the end of the course i had to take a lengthy multiple choice test and a nursing math exam, similar to the type you take prior to entering nursing school. I failed the first time on the math but was given the option to retake it, in which I passed the second time. as far as the clinical site, you have to go out and find somewhere that will take students and speak with the D.O.N. Once I secured that site, I had to meet certain requirments - get a T.B., physical exam, ect...I had a wonderful clinical experience, was so happy that I didnt loose my nursing skills after being away from it for over 6 years...it was just like riding a bike again...injections, starting foleys, care plans, ect...the best part is when i got my completion of refresher course letter in the mail, then just two days later...lo and behold...there was my nursing license in the mail. i will never forget that day!...I stood there in the post office, carefully opened the envelope from the state board of nursing, saw my license and dropped to my knees while tears of joy just ran down my face. ...thats my experience for Nurse refresher...good luck to you!
