Hello I was wondering if anyone has experience or knows of private universities such as National or West Coast, or any others???

Do you have any specific questions about them? If you do a quick Google search, you will likely yield thousands (well, maybe hundreds) of results. Without more specific questions, it's hard to help beyond that.
Has anyone attended them or know the tuition?
They vary widely based on locale. I know the ones up here (Dominican, Samuel Merritt, USF, etc) run about $40k/year.

West Coast University's BSN degree program costs $132,000 in California and about $100,000 in Texas. I personally would not spend that much on a nursing education. In this economy, it just is not worth it.
Wow that is crazy I did not know it was that much.
That's why a lot of us highly encourage considering state schools. The CSUs have great nursing programs, and many of them are now offering 2 year BSNs, something private universities probably won't offer for as long as they can avoid it.

Most of them run around $40,000.00 a year.
