Nursing Refresher Programme

Published

Hi I am thinking of looking into Nursing refresher courses, I am originally Psych registered and twelve years ago bridged to General Nursing.

This was part-time over two years and since then I have worked in Aged Care working back shifts and feel my level of clinical experience is near zilch. I would like more flexibility in my work choices (have a toddler) and thought I should try back in Mainstream Nursing, I would LOVE to hear from anyone that has either done this or a return to the workforce programme..............Lyn

Hi,

You don't say where you are living, but home healthcare is usually more flexible than nursing in an institution.

Hi- I am half way thru a reentry program through CASboard but this doesn't seem to be what you're needing. Mayb you could arrange a transition program in acute care to suit your needs.

Hi Annys can you tell me what CASboard is?, I did speak to one hospital who suggested I do the new grad programme which would be great but not possible at the moment with Abbey only being nearly three. I am really so not want to be pay like two hundred and fifty plus a week for childcare.

Thanks for your reply...............Lyn

Hi Lyn,

The CAS board provides distance education program for nurses wanting to reenter nursing and for overseas trained nurses to achieve their licence to practice. The QNC provided the contact details
