West Coast University Nursing Program Questions, Please Help!

I am from Hawaii and really interested in transferring to WCU asap. I've taken the majority of all the pre-reqs but not sure if the pre-reqs I've taken here are equivalent to the classes at WCU. So, if anyone knows if there's a credit transfer database or website that can tell me what classes are equivalent to WCU. any additional information is helpful too. I've spoken to a counselor and she was nice but demanded that I find all information on the website. unfortunately, I am all the way here in Hawaii and cannot go to Anaheim until this summer and wanted to know more information before I go. I hope someone can help me or provide me with some kind of information.

thanks!!! :lol2:

Hi pinkk,

Thank you very much for your response! I did look at the courses and the credits in which they are worth. I have a biochem class, but is only 4 credits, where WCU needs a 5 credit. Other than that, all courses meet the same credit requirement. I guess we will see what happens.

Np good luck!

Thanks Piinkk,

Took and passed HESI yesterday, then received the projected classes for my course of study :-(

All I can say is " UGH!!!!" Not even close to what I should have received credit for, but I have not given up hope.

Just in case, keeping my options open for the other schools that I have applied to.

What classes did they not accept?

Oh goodness, I would say less than half.

They do that sometime but some of the course you need to argue with them b/c they might need you to retake the classes that you don't need. They gave me some credits after I question them the defferences between the courses and my community college course catalogue. Later they gave me the credit. I sorry to hear that, try other schools.

Hi Nomsa,

They requested a couple of syllabi for courses in consideration. Yes, I know that many colleges do this, however, the courses that I submitted have the same number of credits, same curriculum and some even the same name.

Are you currently enrolled? what term and classes are you taking?

Yaap! I am enrolled and this is my second semester (BSN program) and I will finish next year August. You need to ask them to explain the difference or if possible get that school catalog from the school that you went to. I had such a problem at the beginning and I provided them with my CC catalog and then compared with what is written on their website, finally they gave me my credits otherwise I would have repeated four classes there lol.

Congrats on getting your credits!

I actually submitted course syllabi from the start and also drafted a letter stating that I did a course by course review, so we'll see what happens.

The HESI is very simple, including math. It's just mainly addition, subtracting, ratios, multiplying, dividing... you can get the HESI prep book from the campus, they let you borrow it to study for a week! Grammar and vocabulary was very easy! Reading was easy as well... just a lot of reading. But it is not bad at all! Don't freak out, I just took it and passed with an 85 and I barely even studied lol. Anyone can pass it :)

Has anyone done the lpn-bsn course here???

can you state how much you are paying since you were able to transfer the cc courses over?
