Admission Requirements

This course is open to registered nurses who are presently ineligible for endorsement or reinstatement of licensure in Delaware because they have been inactive in nursing practice for five or more years. Registered nurses from other states should contact their respective Boards of Nursing to determine if this course meets their requirements for an RN refresher course.

Note: An RN refresher course may not be the only requirement for relicensure. Contact your local Board of Nursing for possible additional requirements.

Participant Requirements

• RN Refresher participants must have had U.S. hospital experience within their nursing program and/or a minimum of 3 months previous practice as a registered nurse (RN) in the U.S. Participants will be asked to provide the name and contact information for their latest hospital/acute care employer.

Continuing Education Option for Currently Licensed RNs

Registered nurses holding current licenses are eligible for enrollment in the course.
