Bachelor of Science in Nursing

West Coast University (WCU) introduces a new era in Nursing Education with the launch of an innovative, accelerated program that puts you on the fast track to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). In just 39 months and with classes starting every 20 weeks, WCU's year-round semester system allows you to complete the BSN program (125 credits)--an equivalent credit load to the professional RN curriculum of four-year programs offered by state and private schools--without sacrificing the quality of your nursing education. While four-year nursing students are still in school, upon successful completion of the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX), you'll already have the potential to earn a professional nurse's salary and benefits!* Additionally, as a Baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you'll experience a lifetime of respect and regard along with the opportunity to practice in a variety of inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings.

You're eligible for acceptance to the program if you're a high school graduate; no medical career background is needed.** Perhaps you've taken some college courses, or been in the work force for a few years but won't be satisfied until you finally realize your dream to become a professional nurse. Don't waste another minute…learn more about your exciting new option to a quality nursing education.
