Career Break

How long can you be away from bedside nursing before they require a refresher course?
It generally depends on the facility that you are applying to work for, or wish to work for. Also I suppose your state BON may require arefresher course. You might want to check with your state BON.

I am mostly wondering what employers do or will think? The BON of the 2 states I am licensed in only require refreshers if you have let your license expire and you havent worked in 3 or 4 years. I kept my license active and I have been enrolled in an RN to BSN the whole time. 15 years exp with a 2 year career break
