   wooosp replied to slward's topic in California

   I just graduated from the ADN program at WCU this year, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Personally, it was an excellent investment. Administration cares very much about their students and the teachers all very experienced and knowledgeable. Good luck!

9. West Coast University?

   wooosp replied to We'llSee's topic in California

   1) They don't require a 2.5 GPA for your sciences, like the other schools. The classes do have to have been completed within 5yrs with a C or better. I'm not sure about having repeated a pre-requisite. They would have to evaluate your transcripts. 2)...
