Be a part of Long Beach Memorial's Accelerated Nursing Program

A precedent-setting collaboration between Long Beach Memorial Medical Center/Miller Children’s Hospital and California State University, Long Beach has been established to address California’s critical shortage of registered nurses by making nursing education available to more university students via a satellite campus at the hospital. This unique accelerated program at CSULB enables you to complete the nursing component of an RN/bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree in just two years vs. three.

The partnership includes a satellite campus at Long Beach Memorial for clinical courses led by faculty from both the university and medical center. The hospital’s sophisticated nine-bed skills/simulator lab serves as a realistic patient care setting providing a learning opportunity in a non-threatening clinical environment. Prior to and during direct, hands-on care experiences with real patients at Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s Hospital, you will train on a Human Patient Simulator, a computer-model-driven, full-sized mannequin that delivers true-to-life scenarios that swiftly change to meet instructors’ goals. The ultra sophisticated and highly versatile Human Patient Simulator blinks, speaks and breathes, has a heartbeat and a pulse, and accurately mirrors human responses to such procedures as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), intravenous medication, intubation, ventilation, and catheterization. The training facility also includes practice areas for training nurses on the fundamentals, neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care and adult critical care.

Long Beach Memorial Medical Center/Miller Children’s Hospital is the second largest private hospital on the west coast and one of a few in the country with adult, pediatric, cancer, heart, rehabilitation, emergency and trauma center all on one campus. Cal State Long Beach is the second largest university in the state and the largest in the California State University system. Its Nursing Program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and by the California Board of Registered Nursing.
