Accredited Nursing Schools & Programs in California
There are currently 656 accredited nursing programs evaluated across California. Choosing the right program requires analyzing key metrics such as institutional accreditation, hands-on clinical hours, total program tuition, and first-time NCLEX exam pass rates.
California features one of the most competitive nursing employment markets in the nation, governed strictly by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). Due to high demand in major metropolitan centers like Los Angeles and the Bay Area, local programs maintain rigorous clinical hour requirements and high standards for first-time NCLEX pass rates.
