West coast university HELP

[Peachgirl]

I'm currently in my 1st term at west coast university Ontario campus. I'm taking an anatomy class that is blended, meaning we pretty much barely have 2 hours of in class lecture per week then we're on our own to learn the rest of the material needed for that week. Also our lab and lectures never add up. I've taken a&p before & never had to learn half of this stuff they want to cram in a 10 week course. Apparently blended classes are a new thing for this school. Has anyone attended WCU and had a blended science course? I honestly feel like they are setting people up for failure! Also I'm started to second guess myself for choosing this school. After talking with MULTIPLE different people that should be able to help students with questions, not one person knew what they were taking about except the dean. The " for profit" really shows with this school, they can care less about the academic success of students....ADVICE NEEDED!

It's not too easy to get in because the program is impacted. They do have a point system:

https://www.rcc.edu/departments/schoolofnursing/Documents/Enrollment/RN ADN Info Sheet update 3-5-19.pdf

The bulk of the points come from ones GPA and TEAS test score.

Consider applying to other RN programs to maximize your chances of getting into a program.

If you're still around here, may I ask how you felt about RCC program? I don't see many reviews on them.

Thank you ?

RCC, like most other ADN/RN programs was rigorous. The good thing about the program was that we had vacations. A lot of busy work that seem meaningless until you graduate and start working then realize that the information was important after all. You will feel prepared for NCLEX and you’re more likely than not to actually pass on the first try.

Hello, 

I was wondering if anyone from this thread ended up going through WCU and how you felt about it? Was it worth the money? Any tips?
