Nurse Licensure Pathway

The Nurse Licensure Pathway Program is based on the belief that licensed nursing graduates receiving licenses are essential to the health care delivery system. We further believe that nursing will become an increasingly essential resource in improving the health of our community and nation.

It is the primary focus of this course to prepare graduate nurses both foreign trained and domestic to pass the NCLEX and be licensed as Registered Nurses in Los Angeles County.

Best practices have demonstrated this pathway is essential to those nurses that have been unsuccessful in passing their state board examination.

An introduction to our licensed nurse pathway is below

Did you know.....FACT: California ranks rock bottom nationally in its share of Registered Nurses,with a ratio of only 544 R.N.'s for every 100.000 residents.Some experts are predicting the state will be short by as many as 25.000 nurses by 2006, potentially creating a public health crisis for California's growing and aging population. FACT: Many foreign and American trained nursing graduates are working outside of the profession only because they have not passed the state board exam.	Where do you see yourself in the future?Your future might seem like a big, fuzzy grey void sometimes. But take a deep breath and relax…we've broken it down for you. The first step is to "explore it." Start by thinking about where you might want to be a year or two from now. What if you could make good money and do work that really makes a difference?

Your Pathway to Success... Mt.SAC's Regional Health Occupations Resource Center is now offering a review program that can actually help Registered Nurse candidates to pass California's R.N. licensing exam.Through RHORC's Licensed Nursing Pathway Project, nursing graduates get a thorough review of the National Clearinghouse Licensing Examination(NCLEX) as well as a review of essential nursing skills, test-taking techniques and medical terminology.	Regional Health Occupation Resource Center The L.A. County RHORC has made it a priority to address the nursing shortage. Leveraging resources with industry through contract education has made it possible to expand the current nursing programs in several regional colleges. Identifying board eligible nurses that have not been successful in passing the boards, and those that need one course to be board eligible, and providing them with the Nurse Licensure Pathway is also a focus. Together these efforts will result in more than 400 additional nurses by the year 2006.
