The Nursing Program is accredited by the California Board of Registered Nursing (see page 8 for information on accrediting agencies). The graduate is prepared to function as an entry-level nurse. Upon comple\u0002tion of the prescribed curriculum, the graduate is qualified to apply for licensure as a registered nurse in the State of California. Nursing students receive clinical experience concurrently with classroom instruction. Nursing faculty teach and supervise clinical experiences. Local hospitals and other community health care agencies provide the clinical facilities where students, under supervision, administer direct nursing care to patients. Students must provide their own transportation. Students must first be admitted into the Nursing Program before they may take nursing courses. Details are available in the Counseling Office (818) 719-6440 and the Nursing Department (818) 719-6477. The following programs may be available for qualified individuals seeking career mobility: LVN-to-RN, LVN 30 Unit Option, Transfer and Credit-By-Exam options, and Foreign Nurse Graduate placement. These programs provide a certificate of completion or an Associate in Science degree with a major in Nursing. See the Department of Nurs\u0002ing for detailed information. Portions of completed coursework from this program may be applied toward the attainment of a bachelor's degree in nursing. See a coun\u0002selor for advice and information on transfer and G.E. certification. Students must complete all of the following Nursing Program prereq\u0002uisites prior to entering the program. The faculty strongly encourages the completion of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program to enhance learning experiences.
