Nursing & Patient Care
Develop and refine fundamental nursing competencies.
California faces a critical nursing shortage, with a projected need for 44,500 additional nurses by 2030. The Rebuilding Nursing Infrastructure (RNI) grant—offering nearly $60 million in funding—presents a powerful opportunity to invest in simulation-based education that drives enrollment, retention, and NCLEX success.
