Straight BSN at West Coast University

Just wanted to find out if anyone out there has applied to the new program at WC. I called them and their November, 2008 session is already booked. Next term starts in February, 2009.....so i'm curious to find out how the $$$ is going to affect them if at all. Was it easy to get financial aid and loans, especially how the economy is?? :typing

No I've not heard of it but I haven't got any pre reqs anyway. =\

I am planning to attend WCU in anaheim this fall! I was debating between this or University of San francisco which is also private and expensive. I do not wish to be on the waitlist or lottery for the nursing programs because its pointless and stupid to wait. I value my time more thats why Im willing to pay! I need info about:

1. What is the cultural pluralism pre req? I hope it is cultural anthropology so I wont have to take it again.

2. Tuition cost. I took all my prerequisites and already have my AA in science so I know it would lower.

3. Quality of education. I have heard ALOT of bad things about WCU regarding services and quality of education. Their nclex passing rate is pretty low---on the 75% and Im pretty worried about that.

4. Accreditation. Are the credits from this school transferable to CSUs and UCs if I wana go for my masters in the long run?

5. Besides WCU, what are good private schools in socal that dont make too much admission requirements and are fast paced?

**USF has a very good reputation for nursing but I want to go to Socal so Im looking for good reasons to choose WCU anaheim.
