I personally have had a great experience at this school. Personally, all these complaints about the pricing, its no secret that this school charges alot. Regarding academics, being a current student, you are able to see the difference with the students who are disssatisfied and who are happy with this school. In my experience the dissatisfied students are the ones who dont take this program serious and wait for things to be handed to you. Nursing school is hard, however i feel like its how you tackle... Read More your academics that is how you will either succeed or fail. I am currently in MS2, and my experience has been great, like all schools there are those teachers that suck at lectures, however , i utilize my resources with youtube, my textbook to apply it for the quizzes and i have been doing very well academically. The students that are failing when i asked them " how long did you study", they say oh just for a couple of hours!. You cannot complain about failiing an exam if you dont study how your suppose to. Overall great school, great professors, and great resources that they provide. SOON TO BE BSN RN !!!!

Due to life circumstances, I failed a class. I have asked several times for re-instatement in order to finish up my degree and was turned down. My appeal was denied as well. It just made me feel that the school only cares about the tuition that they already collected, and not about the huge amount of debt that the student already incurred with nothing to show for.

I was asking to continue my education although I would incur more debt to achieve the degree that I was seeking. Yet, they did not want... Read More to give me that chance. The lesson here is this is a school that does not care about its students. It took my tuition money then said rules are rules. It's a shame!!

This school took my money, enrolling me in a course that I never intended to enroll in. I filled out the application for the FNP program, and they registered me in the MSN program. Two years later, once I graduated, I had to start again on the FNP; however, they offered me the acute care program, which seemed to be faster. Six months before graduation, I had no clinical site. I found placement at a local ER, which was not suitable for the program. The school didn't help me find a clinical site. On... Read More the contrary, they left me alone, forcing me to drop out of the program. This school should be penalized for deceiving students and individuals pursuing their dreams.

Terrible place to be in all aspects. The school is focused on how to make money and not how to teach students. They say they are student centric but they are far from attending to students needs. I barely learned anything in this school and many workplaces had to teach me how to treat patients. We are always short on instructors and many instructors that are there are not interested in teaching or don’t have the skills to teach. The dean is a dictator and the worst person you can deal with. This... Read More place has sucked my money, left me in debt, and gave me the worst experience.

West Coast University is the worst one I have been. I am currently enrolled in an online FNP program. I have faced technical issues, but the university does not provide tech support over the weekend, and it takes 2-3 business days to respond to your queries. No one cares that you will be penalized for late submissions, as the university is not concerned about your late submissions and tries to economize on essential student needs. From an academic perspective, the lectures are inadequate, with a... Read More 15-minute cardiology lecture as an example. Additionally, I have faced issues with the university clinical coordinator not responding to my emails for a week. I had hoped that choosing a more expensive university would provide me with more resources and support, but that has not been the case. Do yourself a favor and find a less greedy university.

West Coast university Ontario was not a good choice . I was looking to get into nursing school because I was tired of waiting. Wcu got me with the every 10 weeks is a different class . They don’t tell you quiz plus unnecessary busy online unreal senarios are required as well . I got dismissed with and overall Gpa 3.0 with 7 months left until graduation. They refused to let me back in because I failed with a C because my proctor exam took my critical score to a 74. The following term they eliminated... Read More the critical score and the proctor exam no longer weighed enough to drop your grade . Needless to say I was upset to find out the criteria that led to my dismissal was no longer in effect I was upset . I called the school they said because it’s a catalog change I’m still dismissed. Thousands down the drain and now I have start over from scratch . I do know ppl who are nurses and graduates from the school . They got jobs but was still completely clueless. Reason being no clinical sites even after clinical sites were open. Wcu had a bad reputation and many facilities were not welcome to WCu students . Now I’m in debt with no nursing degree where as on the other hand WESt coast is sitting pretty good with my student loans . I don’t recommend anyone attend this school. I know about 2 others who also got dismissed and around the same time as myself . I pray GOD has mercy on them for their greed . I do believe one day I will have my money and those responsible for being greedy will pay for their wrong doing .

West Coast University is a "For-Profit" school meaning that they genuienly don't care about their students. If you plan to attend this school remember that West Coast University's first priority is your money and not your success, mental health or concerns. The school allows their instructors to write their own exams which are not uniform across the board which puts certain students at a disadvantage as not all instructors are great test writers and are able to correlate the test properly to their... Read More individual lecture. The school has a beautiful campus and from what I hear a somewhat decent reputation in hospitals but in my opinion West Coast University is not worth the extremely high price tag. Avoid this school at all costs if you are looking for a school with student integrity. Only certain students at this university receive special treatment which you will experience for yourself upon attending.

I was a student here and finished my degree in 2022. While the instructors and education were decent, please be mindful of financial aid. I am a veteran and submitted my DD214 to receive the veteran discount and in the beginning, they said everything looked good. Then the last month of my degree, all of the sudden there was something wrong with my DD214 (wrong copy). So I provided that copy, then all was good. Then the last week of school, I get a call that they cannot honor the veteran discount... Read More because the verbiage in the discharge type box was wrong. I was discharged under honorable circumstances and receive disability pay every month so this alone should be MORE than enough (minus the verbiage) to have me get the veteran discount. I was then told I would have to get a lawyer to get the verbiage changed to proceed with the discount. By this point, I was officially graduated and had my diploma in hand. The women I spoke with at the Dallas financial aid office were horribly disrespectful and unable to help. They said get a lawyer, get it changed, then the discount will be applied. Well, who is going to pay for that lawyer?! Not me, I don't have that kind of money. The fact that they WAITED until the very last second to tell me that my DD214 would not be accepted is ridiculosis and makes me think they did that on purpose to collect more money. If you're a veteran, stay away from here, take your education elsewhere that will treat you better. If you are a civilian, I still say go elsewhere because if they treat veterans this way, then they will treat everyone this way

I am taking the LVN to BSN program. As an LVN I think that the program feels more like a refresher of what I already know. I find it "busy" but not hard. What I mean is that we have a lot of easy assignments that take time to complete. Most test are to the point and not difficult if you study. I find myself only reviewing the content but not really studying hours on end as other students report. Teachers are nice but not your friend, if that makes sense. My LVN program seems a lot harder that this... Read More so far. I am currently in core term two. This is an expensive school so don't come here acting like you didn't know this school is a business first. Do what you need to do and you will pass. You seriously get the road map to pass all you have to do is walk the road and study. I recommend the LVN to BSN program to all my LVN's out there looking for a flexible program.

I graduated with BSN in 2022. I took most pre-recs at WCU and all nursing core classes . Previously I had attended UCLA and before that I went to Santa Monica College so I have a reference to compare WCU to. WCU is a school for those who want to finish their nursing program quickly ! The program is easy and anyone can pass pretty much if you put some work into it. The only complaint I had was that most student were not serious about studying. The acceptance rate is very low at WCU so almost anyone... Read More can get in which produces a not very stimulating environment academically speaking . Comparing to for example UCLA where student care about learning . There are some students who are serious and I was able to connect to them and form study groups and life long friendships . The teachers are very good and they care about students . The only exception are some clinical instructors truly do not care and you are left to practice clinical skills on your own…. However there are skills labs available and so if you feel like you need to practice more they do accommodate you gladly. The reputation of WCU in the field is very good and I was surprised when I started working that it was a well respected school ( I did not know what to expect ). I ended up enrolling into a masters program at WCU to continue my educational journey and plan to become a nurse practitioner, while working as an RN I highly recommend this school . Also just to add , I am a single mom of two little kids so it’s completely possible to have a life and attend the BSN program .

Please read these reviews because they are not coming from a bad place. This school really is bad. Often times the professors don't show up for clinicals and you are there not knowing what to do. This happened to me twice during different terms. The school and staff don't communicate or return texts, emails, calls. The staff and dean are not helpful, even when it's something as simple where do I do if a teacher doesn't show. The worst part of the situations that come up is that as a student you are... Read More responsible even though it's out of your hands. Each teacher uses their own rules as what is required even though someone in the same term/class don't have the same rules. They make excuses of finding that you are not compliant; for example flu shots are required prior to 8/31 even thought they don't come out till 9/1. complio requires one date but the school requires another and you have to pay for another term 7k. Please don't go to this school the issues are endless and the staff is very unprofessional.

I am not just saying this either - this is the WORST university, not just for nursing school, but in general. The administration does not offer any support; everything is last minute and under communicated. The professors have no regard for their students in terms of teaching the information in a comprehensive manner. It is all self taught. The grades are based on ATI test scores, and there is ZERO ATI instruction for the exams. The clinical site rotations are highly unorganized, and everyone is... Read More in a sense "figuring it out". This is our life, our career, our present and future, and the university as a whole does not care about their students. The university is highly expensive, there's just no return on the investment here. If you are considering this university, TRACE FAR AWAY!

Instructors in GE will help you succeed but when you get into CORE, it's the complete opposite. It really is a waste of time and money where financial aid will get back faster to you than academic advisors. The schools focus is on passing NCLEX so none of the other work matters. Deans will give instructors too much discretion in class. Instructors come from other jobs where there's no consistency. They don't reply to e-mails or calls and barely use the Remind app. They expect active learning to be... Read More more engaging and for you to be able to cover all the material without completely discussing concepts. Some of the instructors put simple power points up and it lacks content. So when you take ATI tests, students end up doing poorly because the content is completely different than what is being taught back.
