COURSE 1 - LPN Refresher Course

This information is provided by LPNAO for individuals interested in using the curriculum                                                   developed for LPNAO to assemble a refresher course to be used by licensed practical nurses.                                                      

Overview

The total LPN Refresher Course consists of four (4) modules.  Each module totals 16 to 50 clock                                                                     hours of instruction.  Review of academic content and unit testing are part of these specified hours.                                                                   The course outline indicates the amount of time allotted to class sessions, testing, and the place-                                                                   ment of content exams.  Time allotted to classroom sessions is broken down into suggested                                                               components, thus permitting a break.  These components are recommendations only.                                                                                     Time components for individual units are suggested and may be adjusted at instructor discretion,                                                                      with the exception of those designated Category A, law and rule.  It is required that all class com-                                                               ponents equal the hours specified for each unit.  Each instructor using the LPNAO course outline is                                                                      to break down presentation time into minutes per topical area.  The suggested time frames for each                                                                  topic area are on each outline, but the overall time frames for each module should not be changed.
