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.

As cases continue to emerge across the United States, pediatric and primary care teams must be ready to recognize symptoms early, respond appropriately, and help protect vulnerable patients. To support healthcare professionals on the front lines, Northwest AHEC is offering [**Pediatric Pulse: Measles Resurgence—Recognizing, Responding, and Protecting Your Patients**](https://northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/t3/courses-and-events/78399/pediatric-pulse-measles-resurgence-recognizing-responding-and-protecting-your-patients) on **August 5, 2026**, as a live, two-hour webinar. This timely program provides practical, evidence-based guidance for recognizing and managing measles in today's evolving healthcare environment.  ## ![1780420037-adobestock957180002-2-lg](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/1780420037-adobestock957180002-2-lg.jpeg?width=300&height=168&name=1780420037-adobestock957180002-2-lg.jpeg)Why This Topic Matters Now Measles remains one of the most contagious infectious diseases known. Early identification and rapid response can significantly reduce transmission, protect vulnerable populations, and support public health efforts. Healthcare professionals play a critical role not only in clinical management but also in patient education and vaccine confidence conversations. As outbreaks occur, providers may encounter patients with symptoms they have never personally seen in practice. This makes ongoing education particularly important for pediatric clinicians, nurses, vaccine coordinators, and public health professionals. ## What Participants Will Learn This webinar is designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and clinical tools needed to effectively recognize, respond to, and prevent measles. Participants will review current epidemiologic trends, identify early clinical signs and symptoms, and explore evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, isolation, and treatment. Key learning objectives include: - Recognizing the clinical presentation of measles, including prodromal symptoms, rash progression, and diagnostic indicators. - Applying evidence-based management strategies for suspected or confirmed measles cases, including isolation precautions, reporting requirements, and collaboration with public health agencies. - Discussing prevention strategies, including vaccination recommendations and effective approaches for addressing vaccine hesitancy among patients and caregivers. ## Who Should Attend? This program is especially relevant for: - Registered Nurses - Licensed Practical Nurses - Healthcare professionals involved in vaccine administration - Patient educators - Public health professionals - Pediatric healthcare providers and clinical staff who may encounter suspected measles cases Whether you work in pediatrics, family medicine, urgent care, school health, public health, or community-based settings, this webinar offers valuable information that can be immediately applied in practice. ## Practical Education You Can Use Right Away One of the greatest benefits of this program is its focus on real-world application. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to identify measles quickly, implement appropriate infection-control measures, and confidently communicate with patients and families about vaccination and disease prevention. In an environment where misinformation can spread as quickly as disease, healthcare professionals need both clinical expertise and effective communication strategies. This webinar addresses both. ## Register Today **Pediatric Pulse: Measles Resurgence—Recognizing, Responding, and Protecting Your Patients** will be held as a live webinar on **August 5, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT**.
