LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE REFRESHER

The LPN Refresher curriculum provides a refresher course for individuals previously licensed as Practical Nurses who are ineligible for reentry into nursing practice due to a lapse in licensure for five or more years.

An individual entering this curriculum must have been previously licensed as a Practical Nurse in North Carolina.  Candidates should confirm with the NC Board of Nursing if this course would meet their requirements for reinstatement.

This refresher course is taught online with a clinical component. Clinical hours are obtained from long term care facilities or hospital agencies. Attempts are made to schedule these hours at facilities in close proximity or surrounding areas of the student’s home.

All health admission is two phases. Complete your general application to the college first then submit the Phase II LPN Refresher Program Application per application instructions.

The next LPN Refresher Course is planned for Spring Semester 2024 (January 2024).  

Deadline for starting in January 2024  is November 30, 2023.
