Whatever their background, nurses graduate from UC with the skills and training needed to take on one of the biggest challenges facing our state: A shortage of clinicians that makes it too hard for too many people to get the medical care they need.

The UC newsroom has profiled four inspiring California nurses who are dedicating their careers to improving and expanding access to health care for those who need it most.
