Is Westcoast University worth it?
1 post back to top |
Posted almost 5 years ago Hello everyone! I am debating whether to go to a community college where they have waiting lists or the expensive private school WCU for the LVN to RN bridge program. There is a lot of money involved if I were to go to WCU, but is it worth it? I get to finish in 18 months and prerequisites are also included in the program. What do you think? Thanks! |
