Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges and the California State University as 2 of the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law requires the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to encourage community college districts to standardize all nursing program prerequisites on a statewide basis and to negotiate and implement articulation agreements with the campuses of the California State University to which they send a significant number of nursing students.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation related to nursing education.
