Nursing Schools in California

You might say that one of the biggest benefits to going to a California nursing school and launching a nursing career in California, is the pay. Nurses in California enjoy one of the highest annual salaries for professional nurses working in the United States. Of course, California also has one of the highest costs of living in the US and possibly some of the nation’s highest nursing school costs, so these factors most likely balance each other out.

California nurses do enjoy other nursing benefits. First, they enjoy greater than average career opportunities and job growth. There are more available nursing positions in California than anywhere in the entire U.S. Anywhere there is a city (and there are several hundred in California) you’re bound to find healthcare and medical facilities that are looking for good nurses. The largest concentration of nursing jobs are found in California’s major metro areas and cities, including, San Francisco and its surrounding suburbs, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside-San Bernardino, and Sacramento, the state’s capital.

• Review California Nursing Statistics

According to the California HealthCare Foundation, registered nurses made up the largest health profession in California in 2012, with over 300,000 actively licensed professional registered nurses. The California Department of Consumer Affairs Board of Registered Nurses reported that there were over 392,000 active registered nurses and another almost 16,000 inactive registered nurses as of September 2013. That’s a large growth in just one year. Here are some other interesting California nursing statistics that the CHCF reported in their 2012 nursing report:

• New student enrollments in California’s pre-licensure nursing programs nearly doubled from 2002 to 2011.
• Nurses’ average income was almost $90,000 in 2012, compared to $56,000 in 1990.
• Almost two-thirds of all RNs work in a hospital setting. The next most popular work setting, ambulatory care, employs less than 10 percent of California’s RNs.
• The nursing workforce has grown more diverse. Non-White RNs accounted for almost half (47%) of employed nurses in 2012.
• California RNs have enjoyed large increases in income over the last two decades. Inflation-adjusted incomes increased by more than 50 percent from 1990 to 2008.

According to Monster.com’s Nursing Link, “there is an estimated need for 291,200 RNs, 64,800 LPN/LVNs and 83,600 CNAs ending in the year 2015. That is a total of 439,600 available nursing-related jobs in California.”

Finally, California is home to some of the best nursing schools in the nation. Whether you’re a new student looking for training to become an LPN, an LPN wanting to become a RN, or an RN looking to become a nurse practitioner (NP) or nurse midwife, you’ll find a California nursing school to meet your unique needs.
