Cal State University, L.A. School of Nursing Expands Baccalaureate Program

The School of Nursing at California State University, Los Angeles has received a pledge of $178,500 from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the education of two cohorts of 10 nursing students over three years in the Bachelor of Science Nursing program.

This support is the function of the Cedars-Sinai Institute for Professional Nurse Development, a newly-formed partnership program with Cal State L.A. specifically designed to increase the number of graduates with Bachelor of Science degrees in Nursing. These nursing students will complete their clinical rotations at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

“The school of Nursing is thrilled at Cedars-Sinai’s support of Cal State L.A.’s nursing program expansion,” said Judith Papenhausen, the School’s director. “Our vision is to increase the numbers of baccalaureate and advanced practice nurses we can produce over the next five years. We are grateful that Cedars-Sinai’s strong commitment to our community and to professional nursing recognizes Cal State L.A.’s proven capability to prepare and graduate well-educated nurses during this severe nursing shortage,” she said.

In the forefront of nursing education, Cal State L.A.’s School of Nursing currently has approximately 200 pre-nursing majors, slightly more than 200 undergraduate nursing students, more than 100 graduate students and 24 full-time faculty. The Cal State L.A. nursing program has been a unit in the College of Health and Human Services since its inception, and was organized as a department in 1960.#
