Low employer interest before completing Refresher course. After completing the course I updated my resume to include this at the top of the page. Quickly got responses from recruiters after that.
I found this course VERY helpful being that my background was Pediatrics. I gained so much new information pertaining to the adult world of nursing. I often recommend this course to practicing nurses, and would take it again if I had the time.
Definitely do it! Things change quickly in nursing, and this program gives you some insight into procedural changes with rationale. It made me feel more confident about getting back to the bedside.
Well worth the time and money to prepare you- the lectures, the clinicals, the administrative staff were all excellent
It is very worthwhile to take the course to see where you fit in the current field of nursing. The knowledge refresher successfully recharges the memory and ones understanding of how the human body functions. The labs are also very helpful to recall skills and response.
I’m so grateful for this program. It absolutely gave me the confidence I needed to go back to work. All of the instructors were amazing. I felt that the coordinators genuinely cared about our success. I can’t think of a thing that I suggest be done differently.

I thought it was a great program. I (re)learned a ton. I appreciated the introduction to the electronic medical records. I feel more confident applying to return to work as a nurse than I did before starting the program.

I feel more confident overall as a nurse to provide care and I thank this program for that. It gave me confidence but also a look into the work force and what is out there. The recruiter experience made me feel welcomed to apply and not intimidated like I have felt in the past. Thank you for this great experience! CSU is a great school and really looks out for their students. I look forward to applying to the CSU RN to BSN program and I hope to become a part of the CSU family. Thank you!

I think it was a great way to get "back in the water." I met some interesting people and generally enjoyed studying subjects I haven't considered in years. Learned some new material that wasn't known when I started out .
