The Nurse Refresher Clinical Skills Lab is designed to support nurses in re-establishing competence and confidence in essential clinical skills within a structured, hands-on learning environment. This course provides an opportunity to review and practice foundational nursing procedures, such as medication administration, patient assessment, wound care, and intravenous therapy, using current best practices. Through guided instruction in the lab and realistic simulation scenarios, participants demonstrate safe and effective performance of critical skills, preparing them for a return to clinical practice or transition into new healthcare roles.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµios's Indianapolis campus offers the Nurse Refresher for the state. This eight-hour course is held in person at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµios Lawrence campus nursing lab (a part of the Indianapolis campus).
