Unitek receives nursing-board approval to offer BSN program in Sacramento
In November, Unitek received unanimous approval from the California Board of Registered Nursing to expand their BSN program to the Sacramento community. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) pre-licensure program will provide students with a coveted degree in the healthcare industry.
“Unitek chose Sacramento because studies have shown that this region has one of the fastest growing populations in California. While 20% of the general population is over 60 years old, at least 22% of RNs in Sacramento are above the age of 60. According to a recent report on the impact of COVID-19, these nurses will likely retire within the next five years,” said Dr. Abdel Yosef, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Unitek College. “In 2021 alone, there have been 22,584 RN job postings in Sacramento. Furthermore, September has seen an 88% increase in the number of RN job postings compared to January.”
