Does anybody have any info/advice about this school. I got a flier today and looked up some info on the net but it was limited. What are the courses like? Would you recommend doing pre recs at CC 1st? What is the pace like? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Its the sister school of American Career College and its quite pricey about $55k I hear for the full 18month course. Of course if you do your prereqs elsewhere it would be cheaper. Look at Azusa Pacific as its not too far from the southbay a little cheap and you can do a lvn to bsn.

Thank you for the response. I looked up Azusa Pacific and they only offer the lpn to bsn and the 30 unit option. They also do not have weekend courses or offer any of the courses online. But now that I know that West Coast is affiliated with American Career I deffinatley will look alot further into it. I have not heard anything good about ACC. espcially thier lvn program.

One of my buddies is now attending WCU and from what he told me, the school cost $63,000!

Not worth it in my opinion. I am doing the LPN to RN Bridge, Community College route. Which ends up costing less than $5000.

JRN. How long approx did you have to wait after applying to bridge at the community college before starting?

Most Community Colleges DO NOT have a waiting list but these are CCs around my area. You do need to take (2) Written Exams and (1) Skills exam and (1) Transition class to get into the 3rd Semester of the RN Program. LVN to RN bridge is about 1 Year of class remaining.

I'm assuming you don't live in LA then since most community colleges are impacted.

Opps the above sounds very snarky which was not intended at all. Would love to find a school within driving distance that doesn't have an impacted bridge
