Why Santa Monica is a Great Place to Study Nursing
As part of the burgeoning Los Angeles area, Santa Monica offers numerous opportunities for those interested in nursing education and careers. Like other states, California faces a nursing shortage, one that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is addressing with the 2005 introduction of the California Nurse Education Initiative, a five-point plan to add thousands of additional nurses to California's hospitals and healthcare facilities over the next five years; the plan includes a $90 million public-private partnership to provide funding for nurse education, so opportunities for those seeking a nursing education and career are expected to continue to expand in Santa Monica and around California.
