The students are usually organized in small classes and they are offered with placements in rural clinics in order to help them in advancing in their career as this gives them the exposure and the real work environment in the field. Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four year program and it is accredited by the California State Board of Nursing. The program has been designed in such a manner that after completion, the students are able to take leadership roles in the nursing fraternity or outside, where they can develop an in-depth knowledge in biology and socials sciences. They can also get exposure on what is happening in the field as the students are able to go for placement during their degree program and other benefits.
