Currently in RN refresher course and overwhelmed by information requirements beyond my original scope in the 1980's. I almost gave up and walked away, depressed, when I searched for a "R N refresher" course on RU-vid and found you. Your encouragement and hopeful way you addressed the camera helped. While I still struggle to complete the course, your video(s) does help. Thanks

I had an my very first interview for a nursing job today as I graduated 7 years ago and I never worked yet as a nurse (stayed home with my children) was told to take a refresher course due to not being up to date with certain practices, although Im upset I didnt get the job, I definetly will benefit from a refresher course and it will help with my skills and re gain confidence. Thank you so much for these tips.

I'm in a really bad spot in my life right now, and thanks to your videos I'm motivated again. I thought that it was too late, but with how you approached it, maybe I was just afraid of nothing. Keep it up! I hope that you get to help more people like me.

I'm so glad I found this video! I'm re-entering Registered Nursing after being out for 15 yrs.

Thank you so much!❤I was going to ask for this video. I completed the Nurse Refresher Program in Oklahoma. Went to work for a little over a year however it was in Home Health. I performed great. I am know going back to hospital and I feel all those things over again. I have my books out studying, watching RU-vid videos. This video helped me thank you again. Keep up the Great work. And thank you for not hiding your faith. ❤

Thanks for this video! I am there, about to re-enter the profession, and this encouraged me!

I did my theory Refresher and starting my clinical rotation Friday and I’m SCARED!!! Thank you for this video, makes me realize that I’m not alone.

Excited to return this year after 10 yrs in the corporate setting!

I've been on and off in my nursing profession. I just wanna go back this time and really succeed. thank you for the encouragement and tips ma'am. I really appreciate this video. It gave me hope.

I'm not sure if I heard your name correctly, but I think you said "Sarah"...so, Sarah, like most everyone else who has chosen to watch this video, I am a retired RN and have been out of the profession (especially, floor/hospital nursing) for a long time. However, I felt "called" to nursing from a very young age and have missed it tremenously. I've decided to re-enter, and I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to create such an encouraging, positive video to help all of us out here trying to return to one of the most challenging, yet rewarding and beloved, careers!

I am so glad I saw your You Tube Channel discussing about it, because I am one of those Nurses who plans to go back to my profession after almost 16years, and I am blessed that I was recently accepted in a Clinic to start with however I will be starting in 3 months time, on time with this video of yours, thank you so much, hope I could get personal advice from you too

Thank you for posting this. So encouraging. I've been out a long time and attempting to go back. Bless you.

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me find confidence during this time. I am a nurse and I had a non-clinical RN position for about 2 years ever since graduating. I rarely used my clinical skills or patho/pharm nursing knowledge so I feel like I've really forgotten a lot. I want to get back into the field (clinical) and I'v been doubting my capabilities and how it will be like once I go back. This video really helped me though and made me feel more confident about entering. :) Hoping to ace upcoming interviews and adapt quickly. Hoping it all comes back to me again! =)

Needed to hear this....took a break for a year to care for my daughter about to re-enter floor nursing

So helpful!

Hi everyone! I was trying to find a video on how to study after a long break and I came across this one. I’ve been out of nursing school for almost two years now. I didn’t pass my exit exam and was so overwhelmed that I needed a break. This break has been over extended and it’s now or never. I’m ready to give it another go. If anyone has any tips for getting back in the zone please they would be greatly appreciated!

i worked in a tertiary hospital 5 months ago and sad to say i've only stayed for 8 months, my duty was good until this pandemic explode.... i've got a serious headache after i've handled 12 patients all suspected covid cases....i was traumatized....i have no idea what i was doing and my supervisor, well i wouldn't say she forced me to handle those patient, we have no nurses available that time and i have no experience... i quit my job and now i'm stuck here at home....i guess my nursing skills is now rusty.....i'm 30...

Due to injury and illness I haven't practiced for 8 years. I really want to go back to nursing in hospital settings. I bought my pals book, ACLs, and bcls. I really want to buy some used nursing books to refresh my memory. I haven't learned the new electronic nursing notes. That gives me more anxiety. I can't find a class 4 nursing notes. I know there's text out there but I would really like hands on instructions. I know there's some age discrimination. I hate to be so negative. They can't ask your age but they asked what year did you graduate high school. Even if it's been a year things have changed with medication and equipment. I was a paramedic for 5 years before I started nursing school. I'm a little afraid they won't hire me because of my age and then out of Nursing for so long. I wish I had a Nursing for a long time due to critical illness. I never told my employers that. I did have a business that's the same time that I was out of Nursing. Do you have any suggestions to make me more confident? I don't like applying by computer. I like to interview face to face. I guess there's no way out of that. Thank you for your time

Great video! I'm a foreign-educated nurse (Germany) with an additional OR nursing degree and I've been 6 years out of the job so far. After passing the NCLEX, I'd like to work in the OR again. Hopefully, it doesn't get too bumpy for me, entering the medical field in the US.

I always worried about this and thought about it. How much will it cost me?

great video! thank you :)

I’m in a current state of fear and anxiety. I’ve been out of the nursing field for 8 years, because I struggled a lot to become licensed in US, and I recently got my RN job in US after those long years. I was Educated in Puerto Rico and worked there 8 yrs back, here in US everything feels so different to me. I feel like all the knowledge that I used to have was forgotten. I am so lost and so stressed that, sometimes I just want to give up. I fought so hard to get my RN license, that’s the only thing that keeps me here. But honestly, I’m scared to death. I cannot even sleep and I’m always overthinking due this extreme anxiety. I told my manager about my situation, of being out of nursing for 8 years. But despite of that, they put me in orientation for 8 weeks ( because I have “experience” ) and they want me to come off from orientation in 2 weeks from now!! Help, what can you advice me?

Anybody there with me to re-enter after a 10 yrs gap? I really don't know where to start. Start from the scratch it seems. Some people said to redo the entire course again . I am not gonna do that I'm looking forward to another option .Hopefully it works for me. Will see and will Never give up.

I missed 3years of nursing.....I'm scared to go back

What is crazy is anything over 3 years away from bedside almost negates previous experience as far as HR representatives are concerned.

hi sara i used to watch ur videos n very helpful. i passed nclex rn n applied for a job they told me i should take rn refresher course

I find your lectures extremely helpful! I’m 55 yo and have had a 10 year absence from nursing and my primary field for 14 years was hospice. I became ill and had to go on disability, but would like to return. Have Been studying for the last 2 1/2 months and still find it hard to keep it all in my head. I’m using the Kaplan system in addition to your lectures and because I let my lLet my license lapse I have to take the NCLEX exam again and the last time I took it was 28 years ago and it was given twice a year and it was all multiple-choice and a two day session. My question to you is actually I don’t know what my question is I’m just terrified right now that I won’t be able to pass this test. Most of the kids are coming straight out of college and I graduated from nursing school28 years ago and things of change so drastically. I guess I’m looking for some affirmation or for some guidance on Proceed in my preparation for this test. Sorry this is been so long but I appreciate any and all suggestions.

how long would it take to reentry after being dismissed from the program? anyone?
