Helping rebuild our healthcare workforce
BETHLEHEM, PA – Northampton Community College (NCC) is offering Nursing Reactivation and Review Programs to help RNs and LPNs get back into the field. NCC’s reactivation programs are designed for nurses who want to reinstate their licenses, international nurses looking to practice in Pennsylvania and nurses who have been away from practice and want to update their skillset. The program includes classroom and clinical labs. Practice Review programs are designed for graduate nurses preparing for the NCLEX or for nurses to review basic nursing knowledge and incorporate information on more recent technological advancements.
Each of the programs run this spring from January 30 – May 8. The location for elements within the programs will vary from distance learning, on-ground portions at the Fowler Family Southside Center in Bethlehem, and/or offsite locations.

Lecture topics include venipuncture, capillary collection, safety, medical terminology, orientation to the clinical laboratory and health care, specimen handling and processing as well as vital signs (T, P, R, BP, pulse ox).
