WEST COAST UNIVERSITY NURSING PROGRAM ADVICE?

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi I'm having trouble navigating this site. Where do I get feedback on a school I'm applying for? I really want to know if anyone graduated or attended WEST COAST UNIVERSITY? And if so what can they tell me about the BSN program. Is it a good school has anyone heard anything about them?

Any suggestions would help a lot! Thanks bunches.

You can search West Coast University in the search tab and find good info.

Not sure what you want to know, though. Have you talked to them yet? It is a for-profit, private university. If you have no pre-reqs to transfer over, it will cost you in the upwards of $135k. It is extremely expensive. Pro is that there is no wait list. Some people will tell you that employers shy away from graduates of West Coast, but the people I have talked to is that a nursing degree from an accredited university, is fine. And WCU is recently accredited through WASC -- which is important. They have a lower pass rate of the NCLEX I believe (I could be wrong though). And there success rate isn't very high - meaning people start but don't finish. It is a block schedule, so you have 9 weeks of class and 1 week of finals (if I am remembering correctly).
