Triton College Launches Nurse Re-entry Program

The Triton College School of Continuing Education is pleased to announce the new RN Re-Entry Program, a nursing update/refresher course for RNs who have been outside nursing practice for years and are preparing to return. The content and structure meet state of Illinois educational guidelines and rapidly bring nurses up-to-date on current practices in order to prepare them to return to clinical settings and care for patients in medical and surgical areas.

Participants must have an active Illinois nursing license. Course topics include:

• Professional Nursing Practice
• Pharmacology Review
• Systems Review
• Care of the Client
• IV Therapy
• Communication and Documentation
• Care of the Terminally Ill

The program is a combination of online instruction, in-person skills lab work and a clinical experience with a preceptor in a health care setting, and is designed to be completed in 12-16 weeks. The skills lab component includes 32 hours of instruction in the college's simulated nursing lab while the clinical lab component includes 64 hours in a health care facility.

For more information or to inquire about adding your health care facility to the rotation list, please contact Margaret Harp RN, MS, at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3773 or mharp@triton.edu.
