Hello everyone, I am a newly licensed nurse, but not a recent grad. I hold a BSN degree but it took sometime before I am able to accomplish attaining my nursing license. Now that I am licensed, I am hoping to get an input from anyone about the right steps to take to get started with my career. I have looked into nurse refresher programs and spoke to a program coordinator. According to the professor the nurse refresher program is for inactive licensed nurses who are planning to re-activate their license. I am looking to update my nursing skills, update my knowledge about nursing practice. She (the professor) suggested that I speak to a nurse recruiter to get an idea on where to get started. I would appreciate your input. I am very excited! I intend to be an effective and safe care giver as a nurse. Sincerely, Gladys
