WCCCD nursing program advice

I have in no way implied that attending WCCCD is a waste of money....and I did not speak to any prereqs required to getting into nursing...thank you very much. I wasn't speaking of any particular school, but schools in general, and classes offered in general. Also as I stated, if not for the fact that there was no NLN, I would have chosen there myself.....asking those questions first. I personally am planning on moving out of state when I'm done....hence a National accreditation would be better for me. So before you all decide to jump on the defensive and gang up on someone, make sure you try not to read between lines that don't exist. I plainly stated

I'm not knocking the school in the least seeing as how I am an alumni, but if I were in the position (at any school) to be attending all for not, I would want warning. Business is business as far as schools go. Schools are known for collecting money for classes and not giving practical use outside (no....I'm not speaking of ANY particular school).

To each his own....I am more than happy for her if she attends and loves it and is very successful. Regardless, I have provoked questions that she can decide herself whether or not to ask. Isn't that the purpose? I have yet to attack WCCCD, so don't try to make me feel as though I've done anything wrong in presenting her with a valid thought. I have no loyalty to any school just as they have no loyalty to me. It is a business...if I don't pay them, I don't get an education....therefore IF there education is not up to par....I don't attend. It works both ways, so defend WCCCD to the end....doesn't matter to me. But defend the school to someone who is actually putting the school down, not to someone who is making sure others ask questions before they attend. Don't confuse me with the negative ones.

I hope you all can forgive my instigations, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. And just like this time, if I don't know, I'll say so, AND I'll advise the other person to ask questions. To MISSALISSA777, I apologize for the highjacking of this thread, but if you inquire more now than you did before...I've done what I planned to do. I hope that you get into the program of your choice and wish you much success in your future career!!!

Rarejewel,

Don't sweat it. We all love ya still. Thank you for the viewpoint and opinions. They are very helpful for a future student looking to change careers from Engineering to Nursing (me).

HI OP im a first semester WCCCD nursing student, you should take a pen/pencil and paper with you to the meeting to take notes. When determining gpa for admittance first they take your pre reqs and average them out then they take your pre reqs and completed co reqs and average them out and take the higher score of the two.
