Nurses' Continuing Education
CCM's RN Refresher Program is approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing (BON), and is held every other spring. Candidates must attend the mandatory information session. Please visit our website for course dates and times.
RN Refresher Program (Lecture/Clinical)
This is an intensive program for RNs who want to return to the nursing workforce and need to update their skills and nursing theory, or for current RNs in non-clinical roles wanting to revive their clinical skills. In this program, you will acquire the nursing knowledge and skills to assist with re-entry or initial entry to the acute care and long-term care setting. The program consists of 24 lecture hours, 8 nursing lab hours and 64 clinical hours arranged at an area hospital. The clinical experience is mandatory. Topics include: physical assessment, skills review, pharmacology update, and nursing management of major clinical problems. Objectives include and are not limited to: 1) Employing the nursing process utilizing critical thinking and clinical judgment. 2) Reviewing and increasing knowledge related to care of patients with common medical-surgical conditions, including use of technology and psychomotor skills.
Interested candidates must attend a Mandatory Information Session during our spring or fall Open House. See our website for dates.
This mandatory session will identify whether the RN Refresher program is for you. The session reviews the RN Refresher application process and NJ BON requirements. We will discuss class schedule, admission requirements for health and physical exams, criminal background checks and go over expectations for licensing requirements. There is no fee to attend the Mandatory Information Session.
To continue through the registration process, you will be required to separately register and pay a processing fee. This NON-REFUNDABLE fee covers expenses incurred by the college to admit you into the program.
CCM reserves the right to change the dates/times, method of delivery of the course, and course content depending on enrollment, clinical site access, and instructor availability.
