One recent RN Refresher Program participant exemplifies the impact of dedication, partnership, and regional collaboration. This nurse set her sights on returning to a specialty that she loved: Endoscopy. Having worked in the field years earlier, she was eager to reenter nursing practice and continue serving patients in a role she was passionate about. As part of her RN Refresher experience, she completed the online theory course through UNC Chapel Hill, then was placed for her clinical practicum at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist (AHWFB), where she refreshed her clinical skills and rebuilt her confidence in the healthcare setting. The placement provided valuable hands-on experience and helped prepare her for the next step in her professional journey. Recognizing her desire to have her license reactivated and secure employment quickly and close to home, NWAHEC and South Piedmont AHEC (SPAHEC) coordinators worked together to explore opportunities that aligned with her goals. Through this collaborative effort, she successfully secured a position at Atrium Health Lake Norman, allowing her to continue her nursing career while remaining within her local community. This success story highlights the power of partnership across North Carolina's AHEC network. By working together to support workforce development and nurse reentry, NCAHEC RN Refresher Coordinators help experienced nurses overcome barriers, return to practice, and fill critical healthcare workforce needs across the state. We celebrate this nurse's determination and are grateful for the collaborative efforts that helped turn her goal into reality. Her journey demonstrates how the RN Refresher Program not only helps nurses regain their skills but also opens doors to meaningful career opportunities and a successful return to the profession. Interested in returning to nursing practice? The [NCAHEC RN Refresher Program](https://nurserefresher.web.unc.edu/course-options/) provides the education, support, and clinical experience needed to help nurses confidently reenter the workforce and continue making a difference in patient care.

One meaningful way to do just that is by becoming a **Clinical Instructor Partner (CIP)**. Start by talking with your unit manager to see whether your organization partners with a local school of nursing. If a partnership is in place, you may be eligible to attend the NCAHEC Clinical Instructor Partner (CIP) training at no cost. If your organization does not yet participate, sharing this opportunity with your unit manager and leadership could help open the door for future collaboration. Upon successful completion of the course, participants earn **45 nursing contact hours** and gain preparation for a new professional role - without leaving their current place of employment. Becoming a CIP allows nurses to support the next generation of nurses while expanding their own skills and career opportunities. Practicing Clinical Instructors (CIs) are also welcome to complete this course to earn the **45 teaching and learning credits required by the North Carolina Board of Nursing (NCBON)**. For CIs, the registration fee is **$325.00**, making this an affordable investment in professional growth. Teaching where you work strengthens the connection between education and practice - and offers a rewarding way to shape the future of nursing.   [\*\* APPLY HERE \*\*](https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/04bf95959ad94c93b48068fab01b4a48)   **Upcoming Dates:** Cohort 10 - Online modules open 7/1/26 - Live Webinar Day 1: 8/6/26 8:30 to 5 - Live webinar Day 2: 8/7/26 8:30 to 5 - 16-hour Shadow: 8/8/26 to 9/16/26 - Live webinar Day 3: 9/17/26 8:30 to 12pm Cohort 11 - Online modules open 9/2/26 - Live Webinar Day 1: 10/8/26 8:30 to 5 - Live webinar Day 2: 10/9/26 8:30 to 5 - 16-Hour Shadow: 10/10/26 - 11/18/26 - Live webinar Day 3: 11/19/26 8:30 to 12pm   [Read More](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/cip2026) ## [Nurses: Teach Where You Work](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/cip-program) Dec 28, 2023, 9:00:00 AM / by [Ellen Zimmerman, MSN, RN](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/ellen-zimmerman-msn-rn) posted in [NCAHEC](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/ncahec), [Nursing](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/nursing), [CIP](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/cip), [clinical instructor](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/clinical-instructor) [0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/cip-program#comments-listing) Discover the new opportunity for nurses to teach where they work while remaining in their current role as a practicing nurse.
