Why Students Choose DCI Over Larger Nursing Schools
While big-name nursing schools in San Diego may offer large classrooms and waitlists, DCI stands apart with a local, private, and highly personalized experience.

DCI’s results reflect the strength of its curriculum and commitment to student success. Our graduates consistently perform in line with California’s NCLEX pass rate and are well-prepared to enter the workforce immediately after licensing.
