I graduated from this ADN RN program and am very glad that I chose it! We were very well prepared for the first NCLEXRN to be given in California in 1985. Thank you to the faculty and clinical sites for the great experience. Anyone considering a program should fully and strongly consider this one! James Gibbs, ADN ,RN Class of May 1985
