West Coast University BSN to MSN

WASC is what all colleges refer to as an "accredited" university. Some schools say CCNE is enough to transfer but that means you're only looking to transfer to a few schools that dont look at WASC accreditation. If WCU were to get their WASC accreditation, their units could transfer to every school in the US. This means going to a community college that is WASC accredited and CHEAPER can get you more options and further than attending WCU.

I talked to a directior at my community college and straight up told me that getting ur BSN at WCU is risky. What if one day the schools you were hoping to transfer to get your masters stopped looking at just CCNE?

If you look into WCU history, they use to be WASC accredited but they got it taken away. why? i dont know. maybe its cause of money.

ok... there are a few different wasc accred. the one i was looking at previously was for grade school etc.

Here is the website where it shows the westcoast termination since the programs offered were different than original school. WCU was a name acquired in 2005 by American Career College. http://www.wascsenior.org/files/CLOS...stitutions.pdf

Hello Everyone,

Im new at this. Im considering in applying to West Coast University for the RN-BSN program. I would gladly appreciate if I could get some feedback.

hi everyone. thanks so much for all the great information that was posted on this feed. it provided a lot of insight. i did have some more questions though. i'm still a bit hesitant at the fact that west coast may or may not be accepted at other schools if and when i were to go for further learning, but that's fine. i'm interested in going to west coast for the adn/rn program because time is of the essence for me and i don't hold any college degrees. my concern is the job market for adns. is it true that bsns are more in demand than adns even though they both are looked as rns? i really want to pursue nursing but don't think i can take the time to get the bsn now. i would love to go back to get the bsn later on. if anyone could please offer some insight, i'd really appreciate it. thanks!
