 ValleyCare Health System has partnered with Chabot-Las Positas Community College District to increase enrollment in the Chabot College Nursing Program. Upon successful completion of the Associate Degree Nursing Program, students are eligible to take the NCLEX exam and become Registered Nurses. This partnership is a joint effort to alleviate a national shortage of nurses, and specifically to increase the number of nurses at ValleyCare.
The Chabot College Nursing Program Extended Campus at ValleyCare increased the enrollment in the Chabot Nursing Program from 40 to 60 students. The first ValleyCare class of ten students was accepted in August 2003 and in August 2006 enrollment increased to twenty students.
Information on enrollment, registration and pre-requisites is available at the Chabot College website, http://www.chabotcollege.edu/
Initially, lectures and skills lab will be conducted at Chabot College in Hayward. The entire clinical program will be at ValleyCare with a few exceptions such as some pediatric and psych clinical settings. A state-of-the-art Skills Lab, Simulation Lab, Computer lab, Library and two classrooms are located at the Mertes Feit Education Center in Livermore.
The Chabot College Nursing Program is an Associate in Arts (AA) degree.

You may take all General Education and Science courses at Las Positas College. It is recommended that you take the Assessment test. No appointment is necessary.
