Robust Aging Program
The Robust Aging Program (RAP), run by Kate Bayhan, DNP, RN, was founded by Dr. Rose Sakamoto. It serves to provide resources, and participates in aging studies research. The RAP works closely with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) members, and its clinic provides basic first aid, medication counseling, blood pressure checks, resources, and hosts educational events. The RAP clinic also serves as a gateway for MSTEM Star Program, providing students the opportunity to participate in paid research experience, qualify for scholarships, and pursue a minor in Aging Studies. If you are interested in volunteering with the RAP clinic, please email Nursingrap@fullerton.edu to gain valuable experience with the aging population.
RN-BSN Stipend
Through a generous $5 million grant, the RN-BSN Stipend Program aims to expand the nursing workforce in Orange County by providing $10,000 stipends for eligible RN-BSN students. Current and incoming RN-BSN students who are dedicated to working in Orange County can have their BSN completely paid for and be free to prioritize their BSN schoolwork. Ultimately, the Stipend Program is dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes in Orange County by addressing the shortage of BSN-trained nurses in the workforce.
