ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the nursing education programs of the Riverside Community College (RCC) School of Nursing in Riverside, California. It is stated that under the administration of the schools' dean Sandra Baker, the nursing program at RCC has grown significantly. Under her management, several nursing programs have been implemented including a vocational nursing platform, an extension to the traditional associate degree of nursing program outside the main campus and the development of a registered nurse (RN) program from licensed vocational nurse (LVN) curriculum. According to Baker, nursing educators must have administrative support to maintain their morale and confidence.
