This will be the 13th campus location for the college and the first campus in California. The Ontario campus is located at 3401 N Centre Lake Dr. and will serve students in the Inland Empire who are interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
The state of California is facing a nursing shortage that may last for years. A recent study estimates the shortage at more than 40,000 full-time equivalent RNs, a 13.6% gap. As many nurses age out of the profession , not enough nursing students are graduating to handle the need for medical care. The need for more nurses in California provides a great opportunity for future Nursing graduates. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics , California has the second-highest rate for employment and the highest mean wage for registered nurses in the country.
Arizona College of Nursing aims to address the demand for qualified Registered Nurses (RN) in California by offering an accelerated program that provides students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Nursing Degree (BSN) in three years, or less, with qualified transfer credit. Students will experience a mixture of classroom learning and hands-on training through state-of-the-art simulation labs and clinical rotations. The college is currently accepting enrollments for its first cohort beginning February 28th, 2022.
“This is a great time to pursue a nursing career in California,” said Nick Mansour, President, Arizona College of Nursing.“We are excited to open our Ontario campus and educate the next generation of nurses. Our accredited, career-focused, BSN program will prepare them for a fulfilling nursing career.”
Students at the campus will have the opportunity to receive individual attention and form relationships with faculty and staff. The Ontario campus will also offer support services including tutoring, open lab time, counseling services, career services and opportunities to join student nursing associations.
