Nursing

ANNOUNCEMENT: TEAS Prep Series

Our Registered Nursing (RN) Program is full-time 4 semesters in length. Graduates earn an Associate of Science degree upon graduation and are eligible to take the national licensing examination, NCLEX.

Cost: Your degree at CCC costs a fraction of what a private college or university would. Current cost is approximately $5000.

Program Structure: Each week students attend theory lectures, skills lab training, and attend two clinical shifts. Students enrolled in our program will start off in an intensive, four-week boot camp, where they attend various theory classes and skills lab sessions before beginning work in the hospital caring for patients. Early in the program, students care for one patient, but by the fourth semester you be caring for four patients, doing almost everything a working nurse does.

Our clinical partners: We currently have clinical placements at about a dozen area hospitals, including Kaiser-Permanente, John Muir Health Care System, Alta Bates-Summit Hospitals and the Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center.

BSN/MSN: We offer a concurrent Bachelor of Science in Nursing with less time and at a cost savings to students, or you can do it in about a year and a half at California State University, East Bay. We also offer a concurrent Master of Science in Nursing. You will hear more about those opportunities after you join us.

Advanced placement candidates like Licensed Vocational Nurses, Military Trained Personnel, Foreign-Trained Nurses, Transfer students, and Psychiatric Licensed Technicians can apply and then enter our program, if appropriate spaces are available.

Nursing is a high-wage, high-demand occupation.
