RN & LPN Independent Study Refresher Courses

Refresh your knowledge

This self-study refresher course was developed to assist the inactive nurse in updating knowledge and skills. It allows one to move with confidence into a nurse orientation program and return to practice.

The independent study refresher course is offered as a nursing continuing professional development distance education program and may be completed in one's home community at a pace and time that best meets the individual’s needs. The refresher course is not a college credit-granting program. This course is taken to pursue professional recertification of a nursing license or receive continuing education credit.

Course Structure

The objectives of the course are to provide an opportunity for the participant to:

  • Recognize current philosophy, objectives, and social and cultural implications of nursing.
  • Review selected nursing skills and identify their evidence base for practice.
  • Recognize the role of the LPN/LVN/RN in assessing clients’ needs, planning and implementing individualized care.
  • Review and identify therapies, procedures, current diagnostic and treatment measures and patient care needs for selected medical and surgical conditions.
  • Demonstrate dosage calculation to selected client situations.

The program is ongoing. Participants may enroll at any time.

A desktop or laptop computer is required when taking exams. iPads, iPhones, tablets, etc. are not permissible. Chromebooks are not recommended. The system requirements are:

  • Windows 10, 11
  • Mac OS 10.12 or higher

It may not be possible to access exams when using a computer operating system that is not listed above.

All course materials and theory module exams are delivered online through Desire2Learn (D2L) and Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) supported modules. The participant will complete course review and exams at a time and location of their choosing. Participants are required to have camera access on their computer when taking a module exam in the D2L. This webcam may be included in the participant’s computer or an added accessory. A webcam is not provided by SDSU and will be an additional cost to the participant. When logging in to take an exam in the course delivery system D2L, the participant will initially download the safe and free software application Respondus Monitor and LockDown Browser. This application will provide participant verification and testing security measures and video the participant while an exam is taken. Once an exam is accessed, the participant’s browser will be locked to prevent other software applications or web pages to run or be accessed.

Theory Component

The theory component is based on a textbook to help direct and reinforce learning. The theory portion has been organized into 10 major instructional modules with an examination after each module. ATI products are integrated in the theory modules and include Skills, Pharmacology Made Easy and Dosage Calculation – Dimensional Analysis, with a final medication calculation test. After successful completion, the RN refresher participant is awarded 160 theory hours. Completion of theory involves successful completion of all module tests, ATI skills, ATI pharmacology, ATI dimensional analysis modules and the final medication calculation test.

Modules

Modules one through nine contain multiple choice examinations. Each examination contains 25 questions in varying formats such as true/false, multiple choice or multiple select. Two opportunities are allowed to successfully complete each module post-test with a score of 76% or greater. If a score of less than 76% is attained on post-test A, the participant will re-enter test A submission to review incorrect answers, refer to textbook content as noted in rationale and review the module material again before completing post-test B. If a score of 76% or greater is not obtained on either posttest A or B, the participant will be dismissed from the program.

ATI Skills

The 21 required ATI skills provide learning opportunities related to the requirements of a registered nurse in various clinical settings and are assigned in modules five through ten. The ATI skills provide in-depth information and visual cues for each learning experience and should be completed as assigned. ATI skills modules are designed with a pre-test, completion of learning modules, then followed by a posttest. The modules are self-paced and interactive, contain audio and video clips as well as step-by-step procedures. Case studies in the form of practice challenges are included in each module. The modules will support participant’s skill-building, apply the theoretical and evidence-based information, and instill confidence in understanding of skills. Participants should allow time to complete the pretest, review the tutorial including the overview, step-by-step viewing, accepted practice components and posttest.

A post-test score of 76% or greater must be achieved on each of the 21 mandatory ATI Skills. If a 76% is not attained on the first attempt, participants will retake the posttest until the passing score of 76% or greater is achieved. Participants will document their test activities on the SDSU provided form and submit to the CNE office upon completion. This data will be verified by the CNE office before approval will be granted to proceed to the clinical experience.

Participants will also complete five virtual ATI Skill scenarios: HIPAA, Nutrition, Blood Administration Pain Assessment and Vital Signs. The participant will document time spent and date completed on the SDSU provided form and submit to the CNE office upon completion. This data will be verified by the CNE office before approval will be granted to proceed to the clinical experience.

ATI Pharmacology Made Easy

There are 11 modules assigned in modules five through nine. Each pharmacology module includes a welcome/introductory, lessons, activities and case study. There is one module, Introduction to Pharmacology, that must be completed in its entirety followed by as posttest. The posttest contains 25 NCLEX-style questions to assess knowledge acquisition. Participants will receive immediate feedback with rationales provided for both correct and incorrect answer choices to reinforce learning. Participants must receive a score of 76% or greater on the test. If a 76% is not attained on the first attempt, participants will retake the posttest until the passing score of 76% or greater is achieved.

Module content will be reviewed for the other 10 pharmacology modules, with no posttest required. The participant will identify one medication from the module content that they are familiar with and document it on the provided form. Participants will document their test activity, familiar medication and date on the SDSU provided form and submit to the CNE office upon completion. This data will be verified by the CNE office before approval will be granted to proceed to the clinical experience.

Note: Review of two modules is optional – Hematologic and Immune System.

ATI Dosage Calculation

This ATI product is an interactive, media-rich, online tutorial that is designed to help participants learn the basics of safe medication administration. The dosage calculation series improves comprehension and critical-thinking skills in relation to safely calculating medication dosages. The seven modules include activity questions interspersed throughout the material to provide practice problems, in which the participant receives immediate feedback with rationales provided for both correct and incorrect answer choices along with equations to reinforce learning.

Participants must receive a 76% or greater score on each of the seven required module tests. If a 76% is not attained on the first attempt, participants will re-take the posttest until the passing score of 76% or greater is achieved. The participant will document their test activities on the SDSU provided form and submit to the CNE office upon completion. This data will be verified by the CNE office before approval will be granted to proceed to the clinical experience.

Final Medication Calculation

The participant will take a Medication Calculation Test in D2L at the end of theory in module ten, and before proceeding to clinical. The test includes 10 questions that require the participant to calculate and document their answer. A practice medication calculation test is available for the participants to help prepare for the final test and may be utilized as many times as needed.

Three opportunities are allowed to successfully complete the medication calculation test with a score of 100%. The participant will take test A. If a score of less than 100% is attained on test A, the participant will reenter the submission, review questions answered incorrectly noting their rationale and review ATI modules as needed. After review, the participant will take test B. If a score of less than 100% is attained on test B, the participant will reenter the submission, review questions answered incorrectly noting their rationale and review ATI modules as needed. When participant is ready for the final attempt, test C, the participant will email instructor the date and time they request to take test C. The instructor will open test C for participant completion. If a score of less than 100% is attained on medication calculation tests A, B and C, the participant will be dismissed from the program.

Participants will also complete four virtual ATI Skill scenarios: HIPAA, nutrition, pain assessment and vital signs.

Clinical Component

Arranging for the clinical experience is the responsibility of each prospective participant. Work to secure a verbal commitment from a clinical site is required prior to requesting enrollment in the course. The prospective participant must employ professionalism in all phone or email communication with the health care site.

Prospective participants will make the initial contact to request and secure that the facility can provide a clinical experience. After a verbal commitment is achieved, enrollment in the course can begin. SDSU staff will contact the clinical site to establish the required affiliation agreement after participant enrollment.

Clinical sites must be within the United States or on a U.S. Military base in a health care setting operated by medical staff licensed within the US. Examples of SDSU accepted clinical settings include but are not limited to hospitals, nursing homes, surgery centers, urgent care centers, rehabilitation centers, home health or hospice agencies.

Hours Required

A minimum of 80 clinical hours is required for course completion. If the respective state board of nursing requires more than 80 hours, this requirement will be adhered to during the clinical experience.

License

Where required, a limited license must be obtained from the state board of nursing during the clinical component of the refresher course. The limited license allows nursing practice under the direct personal supervision of a licensed registered nurse identified as the clinical preceptor. The limited license is only valid for a specific time period and may not be used for gainful employment.

Clinical Plan and Preclinical Requirements

When preparing for clinical, the participant will submit a completed Clinical Plan to SDSU. This one-page form is reviewed and may be approved after the following preclinical requirements are uploaded and approved in the participant’s CastleBranch account. When all preclinical requirements are met, the Clinical Plan is approved and a date range for clinical hours will be set. The start date for clinical will be a minimum of 10 business days after approval, or longer if work to complete a required affiliation agreement with the site is still underway.

Pre-Clinical Requirements

  1. Copy of Government issued photo identification card (submitted with enrollment)
  2. FBI Background Check with Fingerprinting (completed with enrollment application)
  3. Online Background Check (completed with enrollment application)
  4. Multi-Waiver Release Form
  5. Measles (Rubeola) Immunity
  6. Mumps Immunity
  7. Rubella (German Measles) Immunity
  8. Varicella Immunity
  9. Hepatitis B Immunity or Waiver

  15. Proof of Personal Health Insurance Coverage
  16. Professional Liability Insurance
  17. Drug Screening (10 panel – current within 3 months of beginning clinical)
  18. Temporary Permit or Limited License (where required)

Participants that elect to complete only the theory portion of the course will not open a CastleBranch account to obtain the above preadmission background checks or preclinical requirements. A copy of a government-issued identification card may be submitted with the enrollment application.

Successful Course Completion

The participant must successfully pass both the theory and clinical components to complete the refresher course. Upon successful completion, a certificate will be mailed to the participant. A copy of the certificate will be sent to the participant’s board of nursing to document successful completion of the course.

If a participant is unable to successfully complete either the theory or the clinical portion, this will result in failure of the refresher course. Appeals for the opportunity to retake course exams or the clinical experience are not guaranteed and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. No participant will be allowed more than two opportunities to successfully complete clinical. Any dismissal from the course for academic reasons is appealable pursuant to University Policy 2:4.

Completion Time Frame

The participant is permitted one year to successfully pass both the theory and clinical components to complete the refresher course. If the course is not completed within the one-year deadline, the participant may purchase a one-time extension for $500. The extension adds three months for course completion. A request to extend must be received within 30 days of the course end date. After this period, re-enrollment with payment of the full program fee and background checks is required.

Course Enrollment and Cost

Admission Criteria

The refresher course considers enrollment from prospective participants in the following circumstances:

  • Formerly licensed LPN/RNs who wish to reactivate their nursing licensure.
  • Currently licensed LPN/RNs who desire to refresh their knowledge or skills in the profession due to time away from practice.
  • Unlicensed LPN/RNs that have successfully completed an education program, however, have not yet successfully completed the NCLEX exam. Admission for this participant is accompanied by the requirement that s/he must successfully complete the NCLEX exam prior to receiving approval to begin the clinical component of the course.

Conditional Admission

Applicants must answer all questions in full on the program application. Supplemental information or documents may be provided via email to the CNE office. Information provided will be reviewed by course leadership. Admission to the Independent Study Refresher Course may be denied if it is determined that SDSU Cannot fully support the applicants needs through distance education in any aspect of the program.

Admission to the clinical portion of the refresher course is conditioned on the results of the background checks completed through CastleBranch and acceptance into clinical placement determined by a health care agency.

If a prospective participant has been convicted, pled guilty or no contest to, or received a suspended imposition of sentence for a felony or other criminal offense or is under disciplinary action with their current or former Board of Nursing, the participant is advised it may not be possible to be accepted into the refresher course at SDSU. Participants may be denied reinstatement from their state Board of Nursing, from taking the required licensure exam, and/or may be prevented from gaining employment in the field of nursing.

Participants that elect to complete only the theory portion of the refresher course are not required to open a CastleBranch account to complete the background checks.

Technical Standards

CNE program participants must be able to independently, with or without reasonable accommodation, meet identified technical standards for enrollment in and successful progression through the refresher course program. These requirements pertain to participant conduct regardless of the setting (i.e. didactic, clinical, phone or email communication, etc.). Please review the identified technical standards.

After 30 days, no refund will be granted. No refund will be extended to the participant if s/he is dismissed from the refresher course.
  • Participants in this course will not be issued a 1098T from SDSU for qualified educational expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A verbal commitment from the clinical site must be received by the participant before enrolling in the refresher course. This is a requirement of enrollment, and will not be waived.
  • After enrollment, SDSU reaches out to the contact person from the clinical site and begins work to establish a needed affiliation agreement.
  • When applying for enrollment, the participant must indicate if they are completing the clinical component of the course. A participant is not allowed to enroll, and add the clinical component later.
  • The clinical component will be completed at a health care provider of your choosing in your local area. We encourage prospective participants to consider what area of health care nursing they wish to return to, and pursue clinical in that direction. SDSU approves a wide variety of clinical settings, ranging from the hospital location and acute care, to long term care, home health and hospice, etc. Hands-on nursing practice is required. Each state Board of Nursing may define parameters for refresher course clinical practice.
  • Communication with the desired clinical site should be in the same manner that one uses when seeking employment.  Professional communication via phone, email and in person is essential. Update a resume and have it available to reference former nursing experience. Discuss the desired direction of the next phase of a nursing career. Follow-up to an inquiry with patience and professionalism. Understand it is at the health care providers discretion if they are willing and able to accept a clinical student.
  • Do not attempt to find a clinical site using Facebook or other social media platforms.

On average, participants complete the refresher course in approximately 7 to 8 months. Consider that some participants will move more quickly, and some will take longer.

No. While the course is an independent study course, understand that there are multiple parties working together for the benefit of each participant. Not all progression through the course is at the complete control of the participant.

The drug screen is required prior to clinical, not prior to enrollment. The purchase of a 2nd package with Castle Branch is made when clinical preparation begins. This package includes the checklist of items needed for transition into clinical. At this time, the nearest Lab Corp or Quest Diagnostic testing laboratory is identified for the completion of the panel. The drug screen must be current within three months of beginning clinical.

All students and participants in a Nursing program at SDSU are required to utilize Castle Branch as their document manager. Castle Branch provides detailed instructions for completing each requirement, and reviews all documentation submitted. SDSU does not accept required documentation directly from each student.

SDSU does not place a time limit on the absence from the nursing field. We assist nurses that have been out of the field for 5-10-25 years.

  • Please email Continuing Nursing Education department to request a ten-minute phone conference.
  • Indicate your name, phone number, state in which you are calling from and a date/time during regular business hours that would work well for you. When the call is scheduled, you will receive a confirmation email.

No. Full payment of the program fee can be made after all enrollment requirements are met, and prior to beginning your course.
