LPN/RN Refresher Course

The following board-approved refresher programs offer LPNs and RNs a way to renew, reactivate, or reinstate their nursing license when the nurse does not meet South Dakota's practice requirements; or for a nurse from another state to endorse into South Dakota. These are formal, independent programs that offer study courses to be completed at the nurse's own pace and according to the program's requirements.
