Hi, I have been a registered div 1 since 2007 but due to illness I did maybe 2 weeks of a grad year my first year out, was able to return to work in 2008 and did 4-5 months of a general grad program, then moved to a psych grad program which i did approximately 6 months of. I then had to leave again due to my illness. I am now recovered and wanting to return but am not sure of my options as I never completed a grad program and my experience is very minimal. I have almost been out of a nursing job for a year which means I could possible apply for a refresher program which i think i would greatly benefit from, but I am unsure of whether my lack of previous experience would prevent me from finding a position. I guess I am wondering if I would even be considered for a refresher program by employers or if my circumstances and lack of experience mean I should try to pursue a different profession? I would greatly appreciate some kind of advice. Thank you.

Hi, 2007 is not long ago, so I am not sure you can get into refresher program or not.
However, you can get some all information related to refresher or returning to nursing program (All states) from http://medicareer.com.au/board/index.html?id=nursing&no=44
You can still work as an gency nurse to get your confidence back or strat from working in small hospitals.
Or if you do not have really confidence at all and want to find another career, not mental health, you can do another grad prgram for more experience. :-)

Cheers,
