Students must register and pay for both courses.
If you have already completed a Licensed Nurse Refresher theory course at AACC or the College of Southern Maryland, but have not completed a Licensed Nurse Refresher clinical portion, you can contact AACC to be put on a waiting list for the clinical; however, it is unlikely that the course will have openings.
