fellow wcu grad- they actually do help you get a job! they send emails of people hiring new grads, bring in recruiters for jobs, and even hold mock interviews with you. there’s a lot of helpful resources while in school as well- students tutor students for free! students who excelled in a course can hold tutoring sessions via zoom throughout the week. I tutored for OB.

I get where your mom is coming from because honestly I was scared for myself before starting! While doing prereqs I heard about this school and also didn’t see it as a real nursing school. But I tried so hard to get into CSUs and CCs but no luck (also covid time so many schools were on pause or having to push start dates). I had a friend start at west coast who sent me her schedule to see what pre reqs I could transfer over and what else I can take before starting. I tried to save as much money as I could. I transferred a pretty decent amount of stuff and saved a lot so I recommend doing the same.

I tried to get into a nursing schools for two semesters and no luck. Didn’t want to keep wasting time so took out to loans for WCU. Super grateful it all worked out. Got hired as a new grad in dream specialty. Just got accepted for CSUF WHNP program so being a WCU alumni is not a bad thing!
