I would be very interested in your resume as well. No CNA experience but many years of admin and customer service.

Greetings, I have been reading the boards for sometime and this is my first post. I was able to find a lot of information on both of these programs. I went to an information session at West Coast last Friday. I was not overly impressed with the admis...

I am attending WCU Anaheim campus. I have been since April of 2009. I will just answer your questions: Once you begin your nursing course and clinicals you have classes at any day of the week. Yes, there are evening and weekend classes - even in you...

Thanks so much Caliotter - it has been a crazy few years and I would not want to lose all of this... as you said, time & money.

Greetings, I am a 42 year old woman who has been attending West Coast University in Orange County California for a little over a year. I am currently enrolled in their BSN program. I am to start the nursing portion of the program at the end of August...

I just looked over that website - they DO take transfer students - that application period is slightly different than the "prenursing" so I could proceed with my current classes and begin my core nursing program in August and apply at anytime. One th...

Adding...is there were you are going? I just noticed you are a nursing student as well - and just a few years younger than me. :) Congrats!

Thank you for your reply. My grades are good - not great but good. I do have an F that I am concerned about showing up and having to "explain". I was dx with malignant melanoma last year, and went on a medical leave from school. I had a few weeks le...

Hi commuter - do you mind sharing your school. As I shared I am trying to figure out what to do about moving from California to Plano area of Texas due to my husband's work. My parents live in Oklahoma City so there is a possibility I could stay with...

So if I understand you correctly you may only transfer 10 credits? How long is the program?

I think I was unclear in my post - I apologize. My husband might be taking a job in Plano Texas and it might be necessary for me to move with him in the middle of my nursing program. I was not referring to the staggering tuition (which I am not payin...

So they are not even CCNE accredited at this time? That is too bad. My current school in California has a CCNE and is working on their WASC. I will have to contact the school directly to see if they will take my transfer credits of all my pre-reqs. ...

I am curious about this school. I currently live in Orange County California but there is a chance we are moving to the Dallas area. I am currently enrolled in a tech type school (for lack of a better word) West Coast U in Orange County - in a BSN-RN...

You are most welcome. WCU is not for everyone for a variety of reasons -but I do think it takes a rather unfair beating on this board.

Most people do loans. Many are still working - everyone does different things really - credit cards, cash payments, parents in some cases.

Bridge is not offered @ the OC campus - I am not sure on the other two campuses. WCU is not currently WASC accredited - just like it was not for CCNE - but they were able to obtain that - they are working on the WASC according to the new president (...

Written communications would just be your English 101 type course. Unless you too English 2 @ a four year U it is not going to transfer over. I have not really heard of anyone bringing over CP - but perhaps some have?

Hi, I am not interested in changing your mind, but I do want to clarify something you wrote. You can transfer classes and you do not have to take a test in order to not take the class you have already taken within the last 5 years. I transferred cla...

I am so sorry - I am just seeing this question. I am at the OC campus - and have been for a little over year now in the BSN program. They really helped me in FA - I have had an over all good experience with the school. I realize many have not; but a...

I currently am attending WCU. I have about 50% in loans/grants and am paying the other 50% in cash on a monthly basis. The school has a vocational feel to it over all;but having said that I have been very happy with the professors and the staff. I ha...

As I have shared I am attending WCU, having said that, if I was 17 and got into a state school, I would plug away at it that way. I think WCU has an excellent place in the education spectrum, but I do not think it is for everyone. I agree with the pr...

You are welcome! Good luck. Did you register late? I have not had an issue getting my schedule late - maybe a week late (they say you will have it 4 weeks prior to the next term). Best of luck~ Dawn

I would call the school in the morning I have no idea why you would not have your schedule for next week yet. I attend at the OC campus ... It is impossible for someone else to tell you what your schedule is - the labs vary as well as what classes yo...

It is a personal choice obviously. I pay about 1/2 on a monthly basis and am doing about 1/2 in loans. I am an older student so the quickness of the program works for me. I would be mindful to be SURE the classes that you take a CC will transfer in....
