California has many opportunities for You if You decide to become a nurse and get your degree online. Currently there is a bunch of programs available for online nursing which include Administrative, CCU, Clinical Nurse, Diabetes, ER, Education, Flight, Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), Nursing Law, Nutrition, Occupational Health, PACU, Pain Management, Respiratory Medicine,  and Transplantation. The cost to get your nursing degree in California from a local college is competitive but does not meet the good quality and low rates online nursing degrees have.

If Online Nursing is not your cup of tea I recommend You check out California State University. They offer nursing degrees statewide. Potential nursing students can find Cal State campuses from Long Beach to Fresno and from Sacramento to San Bernardino, and all campuses offer a variety of nursing courses that can lead to RN, LPN and specialty careers with degrees that range from associate to PhD.

Statewide, the average salaries for LPN, RN and specialty nurses range between $26,000 and $78,000 annually, depending upon degree earned, years in the field, expertise and size of the health facility.
