Nursing Career Information
Fast-track your healthcare career with Redlands Community College’s Nursing Degrees!
Whether you're aiming to become an RN through the traditional track, through the LPN to RN program, or to transfer on to become a BSN, we offer the training you need to excel in the health care industry.
Our curriculum is designed to give you hands-on experience and industry-relevant skills. Over 85% of Redlands Nursing students are employed within eight months after graduation. These students either go right out and begin working as an RN, or may also choose to continue their education with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) from a four-year institution.
If you have already started making an impact in healthcare by earning your LPN, you
can get a head start on your RN degree through Redlands. Students applying through the LPN-RN course track will receive articulation credit
for Nursing I and Pharmacology (if taken within their LPN coursework).
