Sequoia Hospital and San Francisco State University will host
an information session from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 23 regarding
their Baccalaureate Nursing Program at Cañada College. It will be held in
Building 6, Room 112. The information session is free and open to anyone
interested in pursuing a degree in nursing.
The program was founded in 2004 as a four-way partnership
between the Sequoia Health Care District, Sequoia Hospital, Cañada College, and
San Francisco State University. The program provides an additional 40 places
each year for students interested in and qualified for the Bachelor of Science
in Nursing and helps address the nursing shortage in the San Francisco Bay Area
and southern portion of San Mateo County.
All courses are taught by San Francisco State University
faculty on the Cañada College campus. Sequoia Hospital provides most of the clinical
placements for student in the program. In addition, the hospital supports
students with various scholarship opportunities.
The program prepares students for entry level nursing
positions in hospitals, community clinics, long term care, home care, and
community health agencies. Graduates work as staff nurses in the following
areas: maternity, pediatrics, medical-surgical nursing, gerontology,
psychiatric/mental health, and public/community health nursing. For more information, visit the Sequoia Hospital/SFSU Baccalaureate Nursing Program at Cañada College Fact Sheet.
