Registered Nurse (RN) Refresher Program
 
Take the next step in your nursing career!  JVS offers training programs - both in San Francisco and in the East Bay - for Registered Nurses, either trained abroad or in the United States, who need a refresher course, have a lapsed RN license, or want a nursing skills brush-up.

San Francisco Program

In partnership with City College of San Francisco (CCSF), our 11-week San Francisco program includes:
  • Theoretical & clinical practice experience at 3 local medical facilities
  • Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) certification for 30 continuing education units
  • Help preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam
  • One-on-one coaching and referral to outside resources

This program is available to all nurses with a valid authorization to work in the U.S., an ESL level of 150 or above (if a non-native English speaker), and proof of valid CPR Certification for Health Care Providers.  If trained in the U.S., you must also have a California RN license (valid or expired) and BRN approval to take the NCLEX exam if license is inactive.  If you are a foreign-trained nurse, you must either  have a California RN license (valid or expired) or both an RN license from abroad with BRN approval to take the NCLEX-RN exam (copy of ATT letter from BRN) and a California LVN license with at least 6 months U.S. LVN work experience.
