ROBERTA FINN of North Van-
-couver has completed the Graduate
Nurse Refresher program offered
by the Open Learning Institute.

After being away from the field
of nursing for some time, Finn
recently enrolled in the OLI pro-
gram which allowed her to study at
home and at a clinical agency in
the region.

The full-time Graduate Nurse
Refresher program was designed to
prepare nurses like Finn to re-enter
nursing employment with con-
fidence and to provide the skills to
keep pace with ongoing changes in
nursing.

Her studies began with a mon-
th-long prerequisite review follow-
ed by new course material based
on a self-care model of nursing
practice. She completed her
home-study lessons with the help
of nursing tutor available via toll-
free telephone. Two months. of
clinical experience to augment the
home study periods and a final ex-
am rounded out the program.

The OLI Graduate Nurse
Refresher program, introduced
three years ago, has made it possi-
ble for registered nurses to retrain
no matter where they live in British
Columbia. The program is ap-
proved by the Registered Nurses
Association of B.C.
