Sinclair Community College: Offering the highest quality Nursing continuing education credits available online. Sinclair Community College has a 35-year history of providing quality instruction in nursing. In addition, the college’s nationally recognized distance-delivered learning activities date back as early as 1979. By fusing quality instruction with a state of the art distance delivery framework, Sinclair offers top-notch, relevant continuing education opportunities.
How does the Online CE program work and who is eligible to enroll? Online nursing continuing education (CE) courses offered by Sinclair Community College serve a two-fold purpose. First, all courses are designed to provide continuing learning opportunity for any nurse in meeting professional continuing education requirements for license renewal. If this is you, feel free to begin right away. All courses are ready and available for enrollment. Second, the Online CE program is designed to prepare inactive licensed RNs for reentry into clinical practice. Licensed registered nurses who have been inactive and want to return to clinical practice frequently find professional inactivity to be a barrier to re-employment. Sinclair’s Online Nursing CE program offers an alternative learning delivery mechanism that is an efficient and expedient way to update knowledge and clinical competency at an affordable price.
How is the Reentry (Refresher) Curriculum designed? The Online Nursing Reentry (Refresher) Curriculum Guidelines may be accessed by signing in as a new user and clicking on the "ce modules" tab at the top of this page. The program includes online didactic refresher classes that serve as continuing education credits for all practicing nurses. A skills CD is available to assist in reviewing clinical skills prior to a return to the work force. If you seek CE credits, all courses are ready for you to enroll and complete. You may get started now as all courses are designed as self-paced, independent learning options. Contact Andrea Borchers, MS, RN, Liaison for Nursing Continuing Education for further information.
