There is an acute shortage of nurses in USA, especially in California. The problem will take even critical shape when baby boomer nurses will start reaching retirement age very soon. So, hordes of Californian nursing coaches, fluent in Spanish, will travel to Guadalajara, Mexico to take classes on nursing education. First of its kind from any state to outsource nursing education to an
other country Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest city with 3.6 million population. The program will begin January 2008, students with fluent English and Spanish will be taken in. Students will spend their first year in Guadalajara, second year they head off to California for clinical training and then go back to Mexico to finish the course.
There are many who feel instead of doing all these, it would have been better if the students took their classes in California, get acclimatised with American milieu and patients, nursing community and everything
