Introduction

The Central Area Health Education Center (AHEC) in partnership with the Colorado Center For Nursing Excellence has provided and supports this online RN Refresher Course. This course is timely in the current country wide healthcare environment nursing shortage. . This is a "learner center" course with case studies and interactive multimedia challenges to encourage critical thinking.

Purpose

The course was developed as a self-directed "anytime-anywhere" program to provide the opportunity for nurses in the rural areas of Colorado, which need nurses yet do not have the facilities, expertise and financial support to develop these programs and for those nurses who for whatever reason are not able to meet the constraints of scheduled start and end date courses. This is a learner focused, self-learning computer-based multimedia course.

Course description:
This course is designed for the RN who has been away from practice for over three to five years who wishes to return to staff level nursing positions in hospitals, long-term care or home care. The course is offered in five modules and its focus is on adult medical-surgical nursing.

1. Self Directed Learning
Modules 1-4 is 60 hours of self-directed web based learning utilizing Web CT through the AHEC network. Activities would include, assigned readings, background information, case studies, Internet linkage to other sites for further information and self-testing. The opportunity is available for the students to establish a community of learners through e-mail, synchronous chats and asynchronous discussions.

2 Clinical Experience
Module 5 is 120 hours of clinical practicum, skills training and hospital-required training utilizing "self-assessment" and "competency" tools under the direct supervision of an RN preceptor. The clinical experience is individualized for the student based on their background, education and planned work environment. The students is responsible for establishing the experience which would be a contract between the student, the healthcare facility and assigned preceptor.

3. Enhancements to Learning
PDS refers to the Professional Development System which has interactive case based scenarios and activities. AHEC has contracted with PDS to utilize their "Adult Health Nursing" (systems) and "Clinical Nursing Concepts" modules as part of this program. This is a great learning tool that encourages critical thinking of the student.

4. The Medical - Surgical Book from Mosby includes a CD/ROM for the student with case studies and access to the Mosby Course Management systems with resources for the student.

• Concepts and Skills
• Therapeutic Advance
• System Review and Clinical Update
• Contemporary Issues

Activities include, assigned readings, background information, case studies, Internet linkage to other sites for further information and self-testing. The opportunity is available for the students to form discussion groups and synchronous chats

2. An additional 20 hours of theory are included in the clinical practice section with the hospital annual orientation for skills and updates of regulatory requirements. (Blood and blood borne pathogens, quality assurance/risk management, HIPAA, infection control, fire, safety , disaster etc.)

The multiple choice test questions are based on the information from this text book. The course was designed and developed based on the information from the book and web site.

4. Professional Development Software, Inc.

AHEC had contracted with the Professional Development Software, Inc. (PDS) to incorporate their multimedia, interactive case studies into the course. Once the student has signed up they will be given a log in and password to access the PDS system. As part of the assignment and course completion the student is expected to complete these critical thinking exorcise in all the the systems, pharmacy, (math & admin)fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, peripoerative care and infection control as part of the course completion.

Clinical

Clinical Experience

1. Module Five is 120 hours of clinical practicum, skills training and hospital-required training utilizing "self-assessment" and "competency" tools under the direct supervision of an RN preceptor. The clinical experience is individualized for the student based on their background, education and planned work environment.

2. The experience is a contract between the student and the healthcare facility and assigned preceptor. Students will be provided skill assessment checklists, competencies, contracts, evaluations and expected outcomes. The student is responsible for arranging the clinical experience.

Evaluation and Course Completion

1. Theory

• Each module has a multiple choice test at the end. The student may take the test at any time and as many times as they like. This is to enable the student to self-evaluate and determine the areas of studies they need to concentrate on.
• Prior to starting the clinical the student must complete a 100 question multiple choice test that is proctored in the facility of their choice. In other words they need to arrange for this supervised test in a facility near their home. They must complete the test with a grade of 75% or better.
• Also prior to starting their clinical the student must complete the interactive case studies on the PDS with a grade of 80% or better. They have two tries to achieve this goal.

2. Clinical
The student must complete the 120 hours of clinical in the facility that they have arranged for. They are expected to successfully achieve 80% of the core skill competencies, receive an evaluation from their preceptor, evaluate their preceptor and update their skills assessment work sheet.

• Prior to starting the clinical the student must complete a 100 question multiple choice test that is proctored in the facility of their choice. In other words they need to arrange for this supervised test in a facility near their home. They must complete the test with a grade of 75% or better.
• Also prior to starting their clinical the student must complete the interactive case studies on the PDS with a grade of 80% or better. They have two tries to achieve this goal.

Evaluation and Course Completion

1. Theory

• Each module has a multiple choice test at the end. The student may take the test at any time and as many times as they like. This is to enable the student to self-evaluate and determine the areas of studies they need to concentrate on.
• Prior to starting the clinical the student must complete a 100 question multiple choice test that is proctored in the facility of their choice. In other words they need to arrange for this supervised test in a facility near their home. They must complete the test with a grade of 75% or better.
• Also prior to starting their clinical the student must complete the interactive case studies on the PDS with a grade of 80% or better. They have two tries to achieve this goal.

2. Clinical
The student must complete the 120 hours of clinical in the facility that they have arranged for. They are expected to successfully achieve 80% of the core skill competencies, receive an evaluation from their preceptor, evaluate their preceptor and update their skills assessment work sheet.

Module Five is 120 hours of clinical practicum, skills training and hospital-required training utilizing "self-assessment" and "competency" tools under the direct supervision of an RN preceptor.
