Nursing Education   Cottage Health System strongly supports has nursing education in our community through partnerships with Santa Barbara City College and Cal State Channel Islands (CSUCI) in Camarillo.   Cottage supports the SBCC Associate Degree in Nursing program financially as well as with clinical education opportunities for nurses-in-training.   In 2012, CHS teamed up with CSUCI to launch the region's first Bachelor's Degree in Nursing program.  Offered through CSUCI Extended University, the program is housed in a facility adjacent to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital.  The suite includes three high-tech classrooms, faculty offices, and state-of-the-art simulation labs.   Beginning in the spring of 2012, students will be admitted to the BSN Program at Cottage in a cohort fashion (22 per year). By the spring of 2014, a total of 66 students will be enrolled in three cohorts. At this point, the program will be operating at full capacity. The first cohort will graduate in the spring of 2014, and thereafter one cohort will graduate every spring.
