I went to an info session a few weeks ago and met with my admissions advisor last Tuesday to fill out an application. I go back to meet with financial aid next week. Hopefully it all goes well for you. I highly recommend coming in with a list of questions you might have and be sure to get them answered when you meet with the admissions advisor. It's tough to get information unless your upfront about what you want to know.

Aaah thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to share. All in all the price tag is the only thing that's really making me weary. I'm looking into all other options but I'm feeling time pressure to get back into school and all of the Southern California nursing programs seem to be so impacted and I'm not in a position to move out of the area. I have a bachelors but didn't do so great the first time around in college so I'm also stuck there. Given all of that though, I'm trying to make the smartest decision financially. But again, thank you for sharing, you definitely eased some of my concerns about the program itself. If only it wasn't so expensive....

Thanks! Yeah I'm meeting with an advisor next week but it's always nice to get info from students for a more authentic perspective. Hopefully it all works out though. I'm so ready to be back in school. Good luck to you!

Hello! My extensive googling hasn't provided the answers I needed so I thought I'd try here. I'm considering registering for West Coast's BSN program at their Los Angeles (really North Hollywood) campus but have some questions regarding their program. For one, if any of you have attended, would you mind sharing your experiences? I've read reviews on Niche and other websites but I still get mixed reviews. One of my bigger concerns was class scheduling since I will be trying to maintain my job while I'm in school (they provide good tuition assistance benefits and the WCU price tag is no joke). Were class options flexible or do you just have to stick with what they give you? My other question is around West Coast's overall reputation to employers. I know they have a decent NCLEX pass rate but that doesn't always guarantee jobs. As someone who used to work in management and assist in hiring associate attorneys, I've seen how a school's reputation can impede someone's job search. I know healthcare and law are different industries, but it's still a concern that came up ?. This is my second bachelors and making the career shift from legal services to healthcare has been daunting. I finished the first one on my own and debt free, but ended up finding that my heart was in nursing. I've been at this for over two and a half years with no luck and just feel like it's time to grab the bull by the horns and take the West Coast option. Overall I know that West Coast comes with a heavy price tag, which I can thankfully take on a little more comfortably thanks to my job and tuition assistance, but I just want to make sure this will be a good long term investment. Any and all advice you can offer is so very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
