Thank you....I didn't realise I needed to be licensed to take a refresher course. No problem, I've got the NCLEX review book...I'm not worried about the written test, just my outdated skills....but I'll worry about getting licensed first

Since everyone wants to know, the reason why I graduated but never took the boards is....my husband at the time was a paramedic and medical student. He had a depression disorder and commited suicide during my last semester of school. After he died, I went numb and didn't want to take care of anybody...I needed to take care of myself. So, I guess that's why I never took my boards. I'm so over all the healing and soul searching and drama...I just want to get back to work. I've check colleges, but no one seems to know of any refresher courses. So, now you know, and knowledge is never a bad thing :)

Hi everyone, I graduated in San Francisco with an ASN in 1994 but never took my boards, I worked in nurse externships, cna positions etc...then left the nursing profession completely 7 years ago to reap the rewards of the hi-tech boom and sow my wild oats. Now I'm settled down in FL and want to return to nursing, but I need to refresh my skills and education to take the NCLEX. Does anyone have advice on where to start? Would taking an NCLEX review course or reading the study guide be enough? What about my skills? They're a little rusty, but do I need a clinical refresher course......is there even such a thing? I'm in the Tampa Bay area (Clearwater) Anyone else had the same situation? Thank you all, I really appreciate it. - Laura
