The RN to BSN Program evolved from the commitment and dedication of nurses from the community who identified the need for baccalaureate program for registered nurses in the San Fernando Valley. Throuogh the hard work of individual nurses, including Mary Parker and Mary Tedrow, and the founding donors, the RN to BSN program became a reality in Fall 1993. The first class graduated on May 30, 1996.
Most students work full-time.
Therefore, efforts are made to offer nursing courses on one full day for part-time students and two full days for students who wish to accelerate. Theory courses have a ratio of one unit equal to one hour per week of class. Thus, students enrolling in lab courses need to anticipate a heavy load.
