  1. Educate a dinosaur :D

    We have ATI testing at the end of each semester which is considered as our final exam. I had to take the TEAS while trying to get into nursing school. It was a joke. The math, english and grammar were so easy and insulting and the science was all geo...
  2. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I had to get a co-signer too. (
  3. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    Be careful challenging, they are set up for you to fail. I spent so much money challenging and just barely passed english 1 and speach. english II i failed by a point. the exam was insane. It asked me all these research theories that I have never hea...
  4. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I did most of my pre-reqs at a community college (originally I wanted to go to cal state fullerton, but when I finished my pre-reqs, they stopped their BSN program for 2 years, and I didnt get into other schools) Doing my pre-reqs somewhere else save...
  5. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I decided to attend the school as I had no other choice. They made me redo some of my pre-reqs (so they can get more money) and it was a joke. I had taken my pre-reqs in community college and they were WAY harder than here. Now im in nursing core and...
  6. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    Hi Jadedbybs, I got to wcu O.C campus and am sooo frustrated with the school as well. Although I got As on pre-reqs, I didnt get accepted anywhere and as I am older, felt I had no other choice. I cant sit on wait lists. I always tell younger peopl...
  7. West Coast University BSN Program???

    No. Its up to you to find housing etc. Most people, Ive noticed, live pretty close to the school, although some do commute.
  8. Nurses really aren't the smartest people

    Whoever says nurses aren't smart should try going to nursing school. I'd like to see how long they last.
  9. I think it depends where you are and how impacted the schools are. I'm in California and it's nearly impossible to get in anywhere.
  10. I had a 4.0 and wasnt accepted anywhere.
  11. West Coast University Challenge Exam

    Thanks! I really appreciate it.
  12. West Coast University Challenge Exam

    THanks. Geesh,why is it not surprising they charge you more to take it online. Was there a lot of APA studying?
  13. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    Hi, Has anyone tested out of English 340? I've tested out of Speech and Eng I, but I found the tests to be ridiculously difficult. I have never gotten anything less than an A in English, but barely passed the challenge exams. Just when I think I ...
  14. West Coast University Challenge Exam

    Hi, I know you posted this over a year ago, but I am currently in the same position. I have tested out of Speech and English 134, but I found both quite difficult. The questions they asked were insane. Ive already taken these classes and got As, b...
  15. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I saw it was deleted too. Hopefully I have a different experience!! Wish me luck because Im really nervous.
  16. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    WCU is my last option as I did not get into any schools I applied to even though I had great grades. Im at the point where my pre-reqs are almost up and Im almost 30 and lost my job so it seems to be WCU or give up. I cant redo my pre-reqs all over. ...
  17. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    Im older and did not get into other programs so this is my only option and I start this November in Anaheim.
  18. Is West Coast University a good choice for me?

    Thats exactly what I'm thinking. I talked to few people who are nursing teachers and they told me as long as you have your license you should be fine. Employers want a license, experience, and a great interview and personality. Besides, I know a lot ...
  19. Is West Coast University a good choice for me?

    I talked with Hoag, Long Beach Memorial and Mission. I asked if it mattered what school you graduate from and Hoag said as long as it is Board accreditted. Its a tough decision, wait for a school thats well known with a great rep, or go to WCU and ge...
  20. Is West Coast University a good choice for me?

    Its so confusing. I asked WCU the other day if they are getting WASC accredited and they said they are currently in the process but it can take a few years. Im not sure if they were to get accredited by them after you graduated if you would be grandf...
  21. Is West Coast University a good choice for me?

    I've been hoping to get feedback from grads or current students about WCU, but havent had any either. The staff annoys me in that most questions I have are answered with "i dont know". They are also insanely pushy! I did call Cal State Long Beach and...
  22. West Coast University BSN Program???

    Hi HumorHeals, Can you please tell me some of the hospitals you called? One of my biggest fears is that the school is not well known and it will be difficult getting a job. Im also irritated that no one at the oc campus will tell me where they have t...
  23. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I had to take the TEAS for Mount St Marys. I got into the final round and they gave me only a few days notice to take it. I had no idea there would be so much environmental science on it. It was all this stuff about planets and rocks etc from 5th gra...
  24. Straight BSN at West Coast University

    I just took my HESI at WCU Anaheim today and passed. What worries me is how quickly they moved me in to talk to someone and enroll me. The woman was insanely rude and spent most of my time with her answering private emails and never excused herself o...
