West Coast University

"Please be careful with this school. This is a for-profit school as they are in for the money. It is not a bad option to attend this school and in fact this is a good school as a for-profit education. Only attend this school as a last resort if you applied to nursing schools 5, 6, or 7 times never got accepted to a state school. I understand that state schools are competitive, but give it a shot first, or go for other private non profit universities. Sometimes you are better off going for an associates instead. This for profit school has the best accredation system compared to other school as other schools accredation system is rebust. The stress and burnout is higher at this school because they easily fail you out. Student well-being is also not a priority at this school. The NCLEX pass rates are low and their drop out rate is high due to easily failing you out. Employment rates are also not that great. I am bring this up as to help people make better choices when chosing a nursing school. For the students attending this school, keep on going and finish your degree. I am not saying the students over there are weak. They all have unique background and they will be great nurses. I know many great nurses who went to this school, while some nurses who went to UCLA are not the greatest."

"Great place"

"Great school...you will have a job after graduating from here"

"UPDATE: 03/21/2019 Ending my OB term this week and I will have 9 more months of school. Started my "senior year" the beginning of the year. So far the key to success is to time manage and be proactive about the online discussion boards that are due, the prework, and the care plans. Always use your resources: library, PALS, mentor program, buddy system. Not gonna lie, the first week of OB was pretty hectic because the school scheduled us for last minute things which required you to have that week completely open for those last meeting mandatory sessions and be in full uniform. FIRST POST: I am about to start CORE this term after 4 terms of GE. Here are my thoughts for anyone wanting to do this program. It's an accelerated, fast-paced program, so time-management skills are essential. I would suggest getting your GEs knocked out at a community college first as it is cheaper doing them there than paying the high price here. Every professor has their own unique teaching style just as every student has their own way of learning, so it isn't fair to say that one professor is better than another, they just teach differently and it's up to the student to adapt and figure out what works best for them. The professors are really good about going over things you don't understand and there's also office hours to talk to them and there's also tutoring so there's no excuses. It's an intense nursing program so it's not going to be easy (if so, everyone would do it). The only reason why I don't give 5 stars is because parking is horrendous at the Manchester location and the lack of a proper student lounge. The Manchester building is hollow so I don't know why they don't build inside and up. Stupid design. Once you get to the La Palma campus it is better. I'll update midway through Core."

"bigger than the other OC location and the simulation rooms are so real. i love it!!!!"
