Hi Anyone go to West Coast University? Seems like a program that just wants your money. so want to know if it's good? What type of students go there? Can you get classes when you want them? Thanks

There are a few threads on the site about WCU. People who are students there post about their experiences as well as students who are planning to attend.

Thank you! I'm still learning how to work the site. Where do I find the threads I am interested in?

Thanks again!

You can scan them, but the easiest way is to look at the Search window at the top of the page and type in what you're looking for. For example, if I want to find a post about "scrambled eggs," I can type that in and I will get a list of them. If I am sure that my friend SuziQ wrote it, I can write "SuziQ scrambled eggs" and will probably get it right at the top. :)

If you want to find threads of primary concern to nursing students, click on the Students tag in the yellow bar. If you want to find threads likely to be of interest to critical care nursing, click on Critical. If you want to find out about Case Management nursing, go to Specialties>Case Management. It's all here. And don't forget the Break Room-- you'll need to sign in again but there are all sorts of fun things there-- Pets, Family, Weight Loss, Hobbies ...

I currently am in the nursing program at the Ontario campus and it is a mirror of the LA, I believe. The way it goes is 1. HESI 2. Transfer in credits 3. Finish remaining general ed credits at university (keep in mind there isn't a wait list you are assigned a grad. date and you WILL graduate that date assuming you do not fail any classes, downfall is that you are at the will of the school as far as picking your days you go, you are guaranteed to get the classes, but you do not get to pick times/days only on some classes you do.) 4. Start Nursing program

Other than that all I can say is that regardless of the price tag, I have seen a number of people wash out and fail from this school by thinking they are paying their way through it is in no way an easy program, and is gaining a lot of respect from the areas hospitals(besides price tag) it is accelerated and difficult, but a good program.

Edit: lol didn't realize how old this thread was, meh whatever if someone needs this info its there!lol
