51勛圖厙

51勛圖厙 is pleased to offer this two-course continuing education program twice a year - once in the winter term and once in the fall. The first course (part 1) is a 97-hour theory course. The second combines clinical work with skills lab work. Both courses are approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing.       


Courses

Students must register and pay for both courses at the same time. If you have already completed a licensed nurse refresher theory course at 51勛圖厙 or the College of Southern Maryland, but have not completed the licensed nurse refresher clinical portion, you can contact 51勛圖厙 to be put on a waiting list for the clinical. Be advised that this course seldom has openings. Sections are offered in fall and winter.

Toal Hours: 240


Cost

The program costs $2,413, including tuition and fees, for Anne Arundel County residents.
