Research has shown there is a shortage of nurses in the United States. This is because there are a lot of people who are getting older and many graduates would prefer to work elsewhere. Given the situation, a lot of vocational schools in California have invested a lot of money into advertising in the hopes that many will answer this call. Here are a few schools worth checking out.

Those who graduate will have the tools to work in an entry-level position in hospital or clinic. West Coast University in Los Angeles, California offers students an Associate of Science in Nursing.

The California State University in San Bernardino offers advanced training for people who took up the basics in nursing. The student can upgrade to get bachelors or a master's degree in nursing that will prepare the individual to handle a ward or a wing in a big hospital or in a small clinic.

The person should check these places in the Internet to find the most convenient place to go and learn about nursing. Shifting to another career is an option for many Americans. This is because many people have realized that nurses' get paid more that the salary offered in the current job. If the individual is thinking of leaving, it will be a good idea to check which school will offer the best program. Should the person not have enough money to hit the books again, the school can accommodate this by allowing the student to work and study part time. The person can never be too old to get a vocational certificate. This is because there are students who are in the late 30's and up who have joined the ranks of nurses working in some of the most prestigious hospitals and clinics in the country.
