NURS R: Medical-Surgical Nursing Review for Registered Nurses

Self-paced Correspondence

This course is part of the Nursing Refresher Program, which also includes a clinical practicum. The program is designed to address a full range of common nursing problems. Medical-surgical concepts as well as psychosocial aspects of nursing care are presented. The correspondence course has 23 modules on topics in the field of nursing and offers 14 CEUs from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Two enrollment options are offered:

Option 1—Correspondence course and clinical practicum. This option is for nurses in North Carolina who have not worked in over five years or who have had a lapsed or inactive license for five years or more and would like to return to nursing either full or part time. These nurses may choose the complete program (both correspondence course and clinical practicum).

Option 2—Correspondence course only. This option is intended primarily for licensed nurses who have been practicing during the past five years and desire to update their knowledge of medical-surgical nursing. Nurses who plan to change practice areas may also benefit from Option 2. Residence in North Carolina is not required for Option 2.
