Great news for potential nursing school students that live in or near the 323,310 and 619 area-code zones! Three of the best nursing schools in Southern California are just around the corner from you. With the baby boomer generation getting older, and living longer, nursing jobs will continue to grow. The healthcare industry is considered a recession-proof industry because no matter what state the economy is in, the need for healthcare continues to grow.
Why Nursing? Nurses play a vital role in any medical team. As a nurse you get to interact and help patients face to face and work with medical doctors. Nurses are needed to fill positions in traditional settings like hospitals, clinics and private doctor’s offices, but have career mobility. A nursing degree also qualifies you for related positions such as a Legal Nurse Consultant.
What’s special about these 4 schools? All four consistently rate well in comparisons of the top nursing schools. UCLA and the University of San Diego both made the NIH.GOV (based on grant awards), and all three were top ranked by U.S. News and World Reports.
