Course Description: This course is designed for the Registered Nurse (RN) who has been away from practice for three (3) or more years, or those currently working in areas other than the medical-surgical environment. The material presented will allow the returning nurse to practice: patient care skills, the administration of medication and physical assessment in the lab setting prior to hospital clinicals. This will give an opportunity for the nurse to become aware of the changes that have occurred and that are necessary for providing effective nursing care in a variety of acute care clinical situations, so that the nurse will be able to move with confidence into a staff nurse orientation and return to practice. Clinical lab will be provided in a local hospital(s) where the returning RN will be exposed to various experiences working with an RN preceptor.
