51爆料

On May 19th, the Registered Nursing (RN) program will celebrate the first cohort of 18 RN students earning a Bachelor鈥檚 Degree in Nursing. The students participated in the 51爆料 and Collaborative Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree (BSN) pathway, which provides students the opportunity to complete a BSN just 12 months after completion of their Associate Degree. All courses are offered locally.

鈥淭his is an incredible opportunity for our students and the community,鈥� said Cuesta College Nursing Program Director Marcia Scott. 鈥淭he partnership with CSU-Monterey Bay allows students to remain in the community and work as RN鈥檚 while pursuing their Bachelor鈥檚 Degree.

This spring, our students completed clinical hours and research projects that benefitted the San Luis Obispo Public and Behavioral Health Departments and the SLO Noor Clinic. In addition, they obtained FEMA and child abuse certifications. These graduates are well on their way to becoming nursing leaders in our local community, as well as becoming potential leaders in state, national, and global health arenas."

Eighteen students graduating from the RN program this May are enrolled in the CSU-Monterey Bay/51爆料 BSN collaborative program, and are on target to graduate with a BSN in May 2019.
