I need help please!!!!!!

Published

I am new to the nursing field. My first question before I fully commit to West Coast University is if you can or heard of anyone working full time and going to West Coast University? I am also a Marine veteran so naturally I wonder if anyone might know if they accept the GI bill? I did go to the orientation already but the instructor didn't have an answer. Please let me know. Thank you!!!!!!!!

For the question of if the school accepts the GI bill, the best way to find out accurate information would be to talk to someone from the financial aid office of the school. As for working, you are going to hear different answers from everyone. Some people have worked full time while attending a nursing program. Even if someone worked full time while attending that particular school it doesn't mean everyone will be able to. Most programs suggest that students work no more than part-time (20 hours a week) and some programs especially those that are accelerated suggest that their students don't work at all.

Specializes in ICU.

Ummm, do you realize how much it costs to go there?? It's a for profit, private university. Stay far, far away from schools like this. $160k for a degree is insane. Insane. How much do you think a nurse makes? I'm trying to get you to think here and realize this is a very poor investment.

yes, the price is what everyone brings up. I understand that but, I'm not concerned about the price do to my military background and the GI bill. I was just curious to see if anyone has completed it while working 40 hours a week. Thank you though.
