Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Like all Virginia municipalities incorporated as cities, it is an independent city, not part of any county. Richmond is located in the Piedmont region of Virginia and is at the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).Richmond may also be known as RIC (its airport code), or the, 804 (its area code), or even RVA, as common colloquialisms for the city. A recent census estimate indicates that Richmond's population has grown to 201,384. Richmond was until recently known as the 3rd largest city in Virginia behind Norfolk and Virginia Beach, but it is now the fourth largest, having been overtaken in the last census by Chesapeake, whose population is around 200,000. Richmond offers an excellent environment in almost every considerable aspect for the study of nursing, and programs for more advanced nursing degrees are offered.
