Refresher Course

The following RN & LPN refresher programs are approved by the SDBON.

These programs provide nurses, who do not meet South Dakota's practice requirement, a way to meet the requirement to successfully renew, reactivate, or reinstate a South Dakota nursing license or for a nurse from another state to endorse into South Dakota.

These formal programs provide a way to refresh nursing knowledge and skills to confidently and safely return to active licensure and practice.
