New America Media reports that Enrollment in California community college nursing programs has increased by 60% over the past three years, with minority enrollment increasing by 13%, largely as a result of the three-year, $10 million Nursing Diversity Initiative.

The Nursing Diversity Initiative, funded by the California Endowment, was aimed at encouraging more Hispanics, Asian-Americans and males to enroll in nursing programs in California’s Central Valley to counterbalance the state’s nursing shortage. There are currently 589 registered nurses per 100,000 state residents, compared with the national average of 825 registered nurses per 100,000 people, according to a 2004 U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration report.
