Program<\/a> (RNR) is a program designed to bring inactive or out-of-practice registered nurses (RNs) up to date with current technology and standards in the fast-paced healthcare environment. It covers various topics including basic patient care, medical\/surgical nursing, professional confidence, and new career or educational opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anxious, scared, and unsure of their skills and knowledge, program students all had the same nervousness entering the program. Some worried about the challenges of balancing work and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beth, an RNR student, shared, \u201cLearning about the program, getting into it, the instructor, and the group, has been phenomenal; and just encouraging and motivating. It is a great atmosphere to learn in with others who are in the same boat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether someone has paused their career for family or are gearing up for licensure, the RN Refresher Program offers the boost nurses need. Johnson Beth-El faculty offer a supportive, unique experience that builds students\u2019 confidence and expertise. Those enrolled in the program are looking for a way to refresh their skills so they may confidently work in a clinical or hospital setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis course just offered a whole other level of comfort,\u201d shared program student Julie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comprehensive, semester-long, program covers essential topics like patient care, medical\/surgical nursing, and modern healthcare standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is nothing out there that is like this program. I know, I\u2019ve done the research,\u201d shares Sally, a current volunteer nurse enrolled in RNR, who is looking to refresh her skills to transition to a hospital or clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria and Beth both have five children each, and similarly have been out of the field for 15 years. They found the coursework flexible enough to still have time with their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI started this program kind of unsure of myself,&#8221; Maria said. \u201cThis program was excellent. Our clinical instructor and the instructor here at the school is wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately, anyone can see the closeness of the spring RN Refresher cohort. They all work in unison simulating a patient \u201ccode blue\u201d in a mock hospital room in the <a href=\"https:\/\/johnsonbethel.uccs.edu\/centers\/simulation\">Simulation Learning Center<\/a>. They administer CPR and use a defibrillator to save the patient, a controllable manikin, from cardiac arrest. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victoria, enrolled in the program to prepare for her National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), said, \u201cI can\u2019t stress enough how supportive this environment this is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Program instructor <a href=\"https:\/\/johnsonbethel.uccs.edu\/staff\/michelle-mongillo\">Michelle Mongillo<\/a> watches from behind the scenes. She makes notes on what they\u2019ll discuss in the debrief room to improve their skills for the next time and in actual practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michelle shared, \u201cI am so proud of these students for taking the initiative to enter or renter the nursing workforce. This program was designed exactly for that purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a big smile, Maria proudly states, \u201cWe\u2019re nurses again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easier to watch or listen?
