Good info, Bluesky.
It is a shame that California has such limited options. UCLA only takes 40 BSN students a year? That is absurdly low for a major public university - that number of grads would not even meet the needs of their own medical center.
Florida realized they had a shortage of nursing seats, so they opened the taps to let every for-profit college instantly start their own nursing program, with few standards. The results were not pretty.
