Reflective thoughts from participants of the RN Refresher Course
I feel much more confident in retaking NCLEX and entering the nursing world. Thank you all the feedback and replies and for your knowledge as well.
Entering the final phase of the RN Refresher course is like reaching the summit after a challenging climb! I did enjoy the virtual camaraderie among fellow refresher course colleagues, which added a special dimension to the program. It provided me with different perspectives that helped with my learning.
I found this refresher class helpful and I know it will help my confidence level when I go back to nursing. I've learned so much from my fellow refreshers and all the posts they've written.
It was nice getting to interact with all of you and learning together along the way. I was able to gain insightful knowledge from everyone's post as it gave me a different perspective on how I normally would view things.
I have learned so much from the course, and all of you as well. Along this journey I found a quote that says "It's not over when you fail, It's over when you quit". So much truth in these words. Therefore, whenever you feel like you can't go on, keep this in mind and push forward. Thank you for all your lessons.
This has been an amazing experience. I've looked forward to interacting with everyone each week. I have appreciated everyone's insight all in different ways.
All the module instructors were encouraging, responsive, and helpful. It may sound odd to hear, but I will miss the fellow "Refreshers" and the weekly lesson structure. I truly learned so much from the CCNW Course and cannot thank all of you enough for the opportunity and encouragement along the way to keep pushing forward while "knocking off the rust!
