On University Avenue at Fairmont Boulevard, RCC plans to open the Riverside School for the Arts by 2012. The $57 million dollar project will combine classrooms, studios, and digital media labs with space for public exhibitions and performances. The school is expected to serve 1,600 students preparing for careers in the film industry and act as a feeder school for the film and visual culture BA program at UC Riverside.

Anbody know how long the wait is for the nursing program at Riverside Community college or Chaffey College? Im trying to see if another college has a shorter wait than my school(San Bernardino Valley College) which has a 3 year wait...

I don't know Chaffey, but RCC's wait list isn't exactly a waitlist. They use a LOTTERY system to admit nursing students. That means among all people completing the pre-reqs, a high GPA does not give you an admissions advantage. A bit ludicrous, imho, but it's still a good program.
Dunno your financial situation, but have you considered Loma Linda? http://www.llu.edu
