The Cleveland State University School of Nursing’s RN Refresher Program is designed with your needs in mind!
| RN Refresher Program | Lab Resources | Participant Testimonials |
This short, focused program will allow you to update your nursing knowledge and clinical understanding in only 7 weeks, whether it be to move to a new position or return to employment in nursing. Six full days of didactic class instruction and 5 full days of skills review in the CSU Nursing Resource Lab (NRL) will refresh your knowledge and skills and build your confidence to re-enter the work force. Each classroom session includes a recruiter visit from local healthcare and hospital systems.
This program meets the Ohio Board of Nursing requirements for continuing education needed to reactivate an inactive / lapsed license or renew a volunteer certificate.
Plan ahead and register for an information session, where you will meet other nurses contemplating the course and hear more about the course content, schedule, and expectations.
Register for AN information session
Two Information sessions are available. We highly recommend attending one, as you will be more familiar with downtown parking and the room location on the first day of the program. The session also includes a tour of the nursing resource lab where you will be practicing your skills during the lab week.

PLEASE NOTE: Satisfactory completion of the Refresher Course may be an asset in seeking employment in nursing, particularly in those institutions that require the course for re‑entry into nursing practice. However, you are responsible for your own job placement and completion of the course does not guarantee a nursing position.
