North Van resident graduates
from nurse refresher program

JENNIFER CAROL Symons of North Vancouver
has successfully completed the Graduate Nurse
Refresher program offered by the Open College, part
of the Open Learning Agency of B.C.

After being away from the field of nursing for some
time, Symons enrolled in the open learning program
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 Symons to re-
enter nursing employment with confidence and to
provide the skills to keep pace with ongoing changes
in nursing. Her studies began with a month-long
prerequisite review followed by new course material

based on a_ self-care model of nursing practice. She
completed her home-study lessons with the help of a
nursing tutor available via toll-free telephone.

Two months of clinical experience to augment the
home study periods and a final exam rounded out
the program.

The Open College, part of the Open Learning
Agency recently created by the provincial gov-
ernment, offers career, technical and vocational
training to people in B.C. through open learning
methods. The Open Learning Agency continues the
work of the former Open Learning Institute and the
Knowledge Network. The Open College offers some
180 accredited courses to those wishing to

learn at home.
