We had a great…read moreconversation, understood the next steps, requested my transcriptions and completed the application as told. I have followed up 6 times since then (about 6 week window) via phone and text. I have received no response back. I went as far as to say in my last message that if I was not approved after they reviewed my application to make me aware so I could search for another program. Unfortunately I will be in search of another program, which is disappointing given the rating a proximity to my home.

The next step is to interview Even he asked about my scrab size. My sister applied for the same program and at the same time When she contacted admission(same person V), in regard her scrab size, he told her that we have to pass Toefl test In the beginning, he didn't mention this test Of course, it isn't easy for immigrate person to pass it When I emailed him, that why you didn't tell us in the beginning ,he refuse his fault and declined to refund our registration Fee It's ridiculous, I feel this college is Scam Just they take advantage of students, and they look to charge . Just we waisted our time and money Admission was so unprofessional that he gave incorrect information , I don't feel safe that even he refused to return our transcript This place is SCAM SCAM

However, there is no better place to be taught accountability and encouragement as I complete my acquire my degree.

    This school is so unorganized it's a shame. My theory teacher was so all over the place when she…read morewas teaching, she revised the syllabus for term one 3 times and still had dates wrong. We barely got a syllabus for term two before she went out on medical leave. My clinical instructors Mr. Dexter, Mr. Nino, Ms. Val and Ms. Donna was wonderful always helping us and making sure we understood our skills. If you needed to speak with any one in the office Ms. Tameeka, Ms. Ethel, and Mr. Noel was always accommodating and will resolve your issues as soon as possible. When it comes to talking with Dr. Arvella , honey be prepared to have thick skin because she come off very abrasive, rude, condescending and didn't care what you are going through. Yes I didn't make it pass term two however speaking with her about trying to reapply back into the program she said that she will have to feel it's in her best interest for her to allow me back into the program and not wasting her time. How the curriculum is set up. I don't care how long you study when it comes to the HESI specially dosage calculations no one really taught us the formulas and which formulas to use for different dosage. On top of that they only gave us a week in between to study for the next HESI with 12 additional assignments that is due that same week. Yes this is an accelerated program but you not giving your students the proper information to succeed. Arvella doesn't care about issue that arise in the classroom or how we feel like we are not learning from our theory instructor. She will tell you that she has personal hand picked her instructors. She hand picked them alright the new clinical instructor Mr. Muhammad kept making sexual comments towards the class when we were doing injections on an hot dog. Saying and I quote "don't put it in your mouths" and laughing about it. Where you have other instructor Mr. Victor getting dropped off by a student. Mind you when you sign up for the program you sign a contract stating no fraternizing with instructors while in school. So I impale Dr. Arvella to ask Mr. Victor about the student who drive the pink Mercedes G wagon who he has been seen having a disagreement with during clinicals. I will not be reapplying to this school and I'm not going to allow someone to dictate when I can come back and be force to retake term one to prove that I'm worthy of her time. But it is okay for a student to be out on medical for 3 weeks and have to option to go back to the term she didn't complete before her medical leave or start the next term. Dr. Arvella plays favoritism with students. Please deeply think about signing up for this college and this location. This school needs to be audit by the board of education.

    I genuinely had a great experience at WCU. I felt supported by my faculty throughout nursing…read moreschool and met a few friends I know will last a lifetime. One of my biggest pieces of advice to current students and new grads: USE CAREER SERVICES! The new grad job search is not easy, and after rejection after rejection, there were definitely times when finding a position started to feel almost impossible. My career advisor was there throughout the entire process. Christina helped me improve my resume, gave me advice during my job search, and when I finally started getting interviews, she sent me interview prep materials and resources to help me prepare. Having someone in my corner made me feel so much more supported during such an uncertain time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything!! Once you graduate, pass the NCLEX, and the routine of nursing school is gone, navigating new grad life can feel overwhelming. Take advantage of the resources WCU provides because you don't have to figure everything out completely on your own. I'm so grateful for my experience at West Coast, the friendships I made, and the support I received even after graduating. All of those applications and rejections eventually paid off, and I'm so excited for this next chapter as a peds RN! (Exactly where I hoped to be)

    For the longest time, nursing school lived in the same category as "I'll get to it eventually."…read moreEventually turned into 6-7 years of postponing, doubting myself, and wondering if I was really cut out for it. Ironically, what finally pushed me to take the leap was watching a coworker graduate from West Coast University. Did she vent about the program being stressful? Absolutely. Did she ever have a bad thing to say about the professors or staff? Not once. That spoke volumes. Nursing school isn't supposed to be easy. Caring for people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives isn't easy, so why should the preparation be? Hearing about the challenges didn't discourage me, it reassured me that the program was doing exactly what it was meant to do. So, after attending an information session for the second time in two years, I finally decided to stop flirting with the idea of nursing school and commit. What stood out to me immediately was the transparency! From day one, everything was laid out clearly: what was required for admission, what resources were available, and what steps needed to be taken to succeed. There were no surprises, no sugarcoating, just straightforward guidance and support. Then began the adventure of getting all my "stuff" together. I would be remiss if I didn't give a special shout-out to David Gallardo, who is low-key one of the biggest reasons my application was completed at all. During the application process, I was navigating some personal challenges while helping care for my mother. Throughout it all, David remained patient, encouraging, and consistently supportive. More importantly, he always started our conversations by asking how I was doing, not just where I was in the application process. That may seem like a small thing, but it meant a lot. His kindness and reassurance gave me confidence when mine was running low. If first impressions truly matter, David was the perfect first impression of West Coast University. Now, as I prepare to begin this journey, I won't pretend I'm not nervous. I have moments where I wonder whether I have what it takes. But I also know that West Coast University has already shown me that support, resources, and dedicated advisors are available every step of the way. At that point, the responsibility shifts to me to use those resources and keep moving forward. So here I am, equal parts anxious and determined, looking forward to the long study sessions, sleepless nights, and study-group marathons. Two years from now, I plan to walk across that stage knowing that earning my degree wasn't easy, but it was worth it. And when that day comes, I'll happily become an unofficial ambassador for West Coast University, completely pro bono lol. If I can help encourage even one person who has been sitting on the fence the way I did for 6-7 years, wondering whether they're capable or whether the timing is ever going to be right, then I'll gladly share my experience. Sometimes all it takes is seeing someone else take the leap to realize you can do it too. For now, though, it's time to get to work. See y'all in two years! GM.

Especially Mrs. Ronak is always there to help you and give good advice. Also theory instructor Mr. J Ragasa is once of the best if your in his class you will pass you nclex his students are always more knowledgeable and informed because of the way he teaches, he will support you and give you advice if he sees students are having hear time. Ms. Amber shes assistant DON shes one of the most knowledgeable person you can have on your side she always there if you need any help she will go above and beyond to make sure your problem is promptly solved. Clinical instructor Mr. Ron he was one of the best teach a lot of information, understanding, and always on his students side. However majority of clinical instructors are not that helpful and everyone says different things which confuses the students, I feel they do know have the updated information. The clinical sites and labs are okay some changes need to be made. Clinical sites could of been better places and more teaching. At the end of the day if you have a great theory teacher you will pass you nclex. Rest of the skills you have to learn during your career.

    Although this range certainly isn't local to me (I'm in Long Beach), this is a much better and…read morereliable option than going to AKI/Security Training Center at The Firing Line range in Huntington Beach (because James' hours often change and they just say "c'mon down" and they would be closed). Check in, get your targets, ammo, firearm rental, your lane assignment and you're good to go. Folks are good people and the subject of why James does what he does is amusing, or we'll quip about current firearm legislation, Newsom or the Potato in Chief. Their fee schedule is clearly posted and pricing is dependent on how many calibers (silly CA BSIS nonsense) you're qualifying and is all-inclusive; other schools charge their fee but they you have to pay for the lane and ammo but these guys do not. The lot is small, only has about 8-10 spots but I usually park on the street bordering the airport.
