Description

If you’re a registered nurse with a lapsed license over five years, or an active RN looking to update your knowledge, NC AHEC’s RN Refresher Program is here to help! We’re committed to helping more nurses return to the field, opening a variety of career pathways, and investing in your commitment to improve the state of healthcare across North Carolina.

Our flexible program, approved by the NC Board of Nursing, consists of 24 self-paced, online modules and a 140-hour clinical practicum managed by your local AHEC. For active RNs, the clinical practicum is optional.

The Nursing Review for Registered Nurses Online Course at UNC-Chapel Hill School of Nursing reviews a wide range of common adult health problems. It is self-paced providing up to 9 months for completion. Learners receive guidance and support from UNC-Chapel Hill School of Nursing instructors throughout the course.

Contact your regional AHEC coordinator for information about the clinical practicum.
