Sacramento campus aims to meet the state’s
growing demand for baccalaureate-prepared nurses
Filling a critical and growing need for nursing education in the
region, Chamberlain College of Nursing is opening a new campus in
Sacramento, California, and is now accepting applications for
admission to spring-semester classes, which begin May 2. The
Sacramento campus is Chamberlain’s first in California and its 20th
in the nation.
Sacramento has seen substantial growth, expanding nearly twice
as fast as the rest of the state from 2002–2012. The growing
population means a greater need for comprehensive healthcare
services in this area, including more nurses to care for the
increasing number of patients.1 According to a 2013 survey of nurse
employers in California, of the hospitals that planned to increase
their proportion of nurses prepared with bachelor of science in
nursing (BSN) degrees, nearly half reported plans to increase the
number by at least 76 percent.2
With waiting lists for nursing schools in northern California
extending as long as six years,3 Chamberlain’s new Sacramento
campus will help make nursing education more accessible to students
living in Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, Yolo, Solano, San Joaquin,
Sutter, Amador, Contra Costa, Calaveras and Nevada counties.
Located at 10971 Sun Center Drive in Rancho Cordova, California,
the campus offers an on-site Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree
program that can be completed in as few as three years of
year-round study instead of the typical four years with summers
off.
The Sacramento campus features Chamberlain’s SIMCARE CENTER™,
which provides high-tech simulated patient care in clinical
learning environments, and a Center for Academic Success, which
delivers comprehensive academic resources and support for students.
Chamberlain students benefit from Chamberlain Care™, Chamberlain’s
unique academic success model in which faculty and colleagues
provide robust academic support, resources and student care to help
students achieve their career goals and deliver extraordinary
patient care.
“Chamberlain Care puts the extraordinary care of our students at
the forefront of all we do,” said Susan Groenwald, Ph.D., RN, ANEF,
FAAN, national president of Chamberlain College of Nursing.
“Faculty and staff provide students with individualized support
from the beginning of their academic careers through graduation,
preparing each student with the strong foundation needed to succeed
and to lead positive change in today’s healthcare environment.”
Open houses for prospective students will be held at the
Sacramento campus on Tuesday, April 19 from 4–7 p.m. and Thursday,
April 21 from 4–7 p.m. For more information about Chamberlain
