Yes please tell us why you withdrew. I am considering attending West Coast next August but am unsure how good the program is.

West Coast University announced to their students today (which is me) that they received CCNE accreditation. They received the maximum of 5 years and got really good reports back from CCNE. I'm very happy because I plan on going to a MSN program down the road.

Actually that is true for schools pursuing continuing CCNE accreditation. West Coast University is a new program and the maximum accreditation for a new program is 5 years. They received the maximum accreditation possible and excellent reports.

Per CNNE's website:

"Consistent with CCNE’s long-standing policy, any new program pursuing initial accreditation by CCNE is eligible for a term of accreditation of up to 5 years. Programs pursing continuing accreditation by CCNE are eligible for an accreditation term of up to 10 years. All DNP programs are considered by CCNE to be new programs and, thus, will be eligible for a maximum initial accreditation term of 5 years."

So does this mean that if you graduate with a BSN from WCU, you can continue to a MSN at any other university?

If a graduate program requires that you have a BSN from an accredited program, then graduates of WCU for the next five years will have met this requirement since they are graduating from an accredited school. Congrats to the faculty, students and administration of WCU for earning CCNE accreditation!
