Attended sbvc from 1970 off and on till 1977. Graduated from sbvc twice. Gen Ed then graduated from R.N. program. It was a wonderful school, and when-ever I visit southern Cal, I run over and visit the campas. After sbvc I went to anesthesia school in michigan, sbvc prepared me well for that.. Had a great career and retired 2008.
