Anyone else struggling for the lecture tests in this class?!? How are you guys studying because Its genuinely so hard to remember all the chapters and information each week for lecture. Lab is pretty easy but genuinely what are we paying this school for if we are teaching ourselves??
I’m planning on applying to the BSN program, and I already have a bachelor’s degree. However, when I look at West Coast’s GE requirements, it seems like I’m missing an additional English class and an additional humanities class.
Would I still need to take those classes even though I already have a bachelor’s degree?
Hey y’all! I’ll be taking Human Anatomy this fall, and I’ve heard it’s one of the hardest prerequisites.
I know there’s a ton of information to learn, but what exactly makes the course so difficult? Is it the amount of memorization, the pace of the class, the exams, or something else?
Also, how can I start preparing now? Should I go ahead and begin studying bones, organs, anatomical terms, or anything else that would give me a head start?
I’d love to hear any advice from people who have already taken it!
Hi! I’m at the OC campus and complio is due today but a server error keeps coming up. I even got in contact with Complio and they said it was an error on their end. Will this affect me? I’m so worried. Has this happened to anyone else?
I’ve seen so many posts about it. What have they changed? It used to be where you can fail the tests and still pass with doing all the other assignments. And I’m hearing a lot of changes they’re doing along with tuition increases. Just sounds like a horrible experience overall. Sorry for the people currently in the program.
I am due to finish BSN program 01/2027 (i am currently in public health). when will the graduation ceremony be?
hi!! i previously made a post abt if i should attend wcu or nightingale. and think what automatically made me decide is the battle nightingale is having w california and i just don’t wanna risk doing the schooling and then ending up unable to take the nclex in ca and get licensed.
therefore, ive heard mcgraw hill literally SUCKS but i have no option other than to pursue my bsn at wcu. i have to go w schools that are less competitive/not competitive at all so i wanted to ask if you guys could give me a pros and cons list on wcu oc campus.
i live in the bay area, will be moving to oc for wcu. i’ve needed a new scenery anyway & i’ll be taking out loans for wcu. help me out!
or what other bsn programs in ca do you recommend that isn’t competitive at all, a good school, and pretty much almost accepts everyone lol
Hi guys, I’m considering finishing my BSN at west coast just bc it can take forever to get into the community colleges in SoCal. The only thing holding me back is they mentioned they don’t take Physio and Microbio credits from other schools. How long would it take to finish those 2 classes through west coast?
Recommendations for med surg 1 OC campus Martin or Davidson & Pharm Woods or Joung? Any pros/cons?
hey i’m doing a lot of research on what school i should attend for my BSN. (transfer creds done) i switch between nightingale and wcu(NOHO or OC) a lot and there’s so many pros and cons. nightingale is a pro to me because it’s kinda flexible? i heard all assignments are due same time of the week or smt and kinda self paced in that sense? my estimated tuition was 63k but the con is that like i don’t know if i can keep up w the self studying & i think it’s really important for me to have an in person grad where all my family and friends can attend. my tuition estimate was abt 40k for a year for wcu, and i was thinking that 80k-90k for two years at wcu might be the same as nightingale w 60k + travel costs and everything. ive heard both schools are self study i just need more povs from actual students from both schools! pls help me out.
i live in the bay area if that helps, id be moving to socal to wcu but staying in the bay if i can to nightingale.
edit: i no longer am considering nightingale just because i found out that there’s a pending thing with california and i just don’t want to risk doing the schooling if i wont be able to take the nclex in california. im iffy abt wcu now as well just because of the mcgraw hill thing.
These questions are specifically impossible to the point I am failing despite my greatest effort. This is my 2nd degree so college is nothing new, in fact Iv already passed Physiology but the school doesnt accept the transfer.
College was not like this in the past, especially prereq level courses. The level they are asking is MCAT level difficulty. Its unfortunate because I'm sure I couldve excelled if I just made it to core since its more focused on ATI than it is on McGraw Hill. This is border a scam and will be filing for Borrowers Defense so I dont pay a penny to this institution.
I’m considering going to WCU for nursing (already have prereqs done) but I know that I want to pursue higher education. I know many nurses go on to do NP, which WCU offers as well, but are there any prior alumni from WCU who get into CRNA? Just wanted to know my options for the future just in case
hey guys i’m currently taking physio online and no matter how much i study, the quizzes are just so hard and too specific. i thought it was me but i saw so many people saying the same thing about mcgraw hill. last term i took anatomy and it was the same thing everything was just so specific ! i did not give the thought that it could be mcgraw hill until this term in physio where im struggling just as much.
has anyone found a solution or found anything that gives you a higher success rate? 🥹
I need to vent because I know I can’t be the only one feeling this.
We’re paying so much in tuition, and on top of that paying extra for McGraw Hill homework… yet half the time it feels like we’re left teaching ourselves everything.
I spend HOURS studying chapters, doing SmartBook, assignments, check your understanding, reviewing notes… and then the quizzes are SO oddly specific that I’m sitting there like wtf 😳 where did that even come from??
But what really gets me is… where is the professor interaction?
Where are the recorded lectures breaking down difficult concepts? Where are the helpful study guides? Where are the PowerPoints that actually teach and help students understand complicated material instead of us having to figure everything out alone?
I understand nursing school is supposed to be challenging — I’m not expecting easy. But sometimes it feels like we’re paying thousands of dollars just to self-teach and hope for the best.
Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling burned out by this. 😭
Hi, I start in August. I have friends that told me I need to get vaccines and stuff. Should I start getting them even I still have 3 terms before core?
and what are the required vaccines for clinicals.
Hi everyone I start core in October and they told us we had another orientation which is part 2 to get our duffel bags. Does anyone know what month or week we have to go? I planned to go on vacation on week 10 in August, but still not sure if to cancel it or not.
Hi I am trying to plan my December (Winter break) I have PEDS during that term and will have to come back for week 09 (for finals) and then a break again for week 10. I have an important life event that falls on Week 09 of PEDS term. I wanted to ask how the schedule is like for PEDS term? Do we only have one theory class in person and do we have clinicals for the whole 9 weeks or only 4 weeks? Does anyone have experience with missing the final exam approved by the university? Thank you!
Can you guys let me know which classes are now being taught on McGraw-Hill? I know Anatomy was last term, Physiology this term, any others?
