"We appreciate the readers' recognition of our stellar nursing program," said Joyce Johnson, Provost of MSJC's Temecula Valley Campus and a registered nurse. "We're very proud of our nursing graduates who consistently pass the licensing exam and secure jobs in the field. It's a testament to our dedicated faculty and classified staff."

All previous graduates who have participated in the occupational internship program, in past years, have secured employment through their internship.
