How would I be received? I’m a BSN15+ yr experience but haven’t been able to work in 10 yr.? I know a refresher course would be needed to go back. Would I be considered new RN or keep experience? Recommendations for refresher course?

I would suppose after a refresher course you would be considered an accomplished RN. Of course with any new position there is orientation. Also getting a position in an area of previous experience would be beneficial. Be aware the technical practice of nursing such as charting, as far as the computer charting may be different, as well. Good luck, the world needs you.

Honestly, as an administrator, I think it depends on the position you’re applying for. Definitely take the refresher course. I think many things have changed in 10 years; however, you might be surprised and welcomed.

Refresher course is nedeed to continue it will b better
