I had a great experience working with Daisy Cruz in Career Services. They were extremely helpful with reviewing my resume and cover letter and gave me specific feedback on what I could improve instead of just giving general advice. They took the time to answer my questions, helped me better highlight my experience, and made sure my resume and cover letter were stronger for the positions I am applying for. I really appreciated how supportive and easy they were to work with, and I would definitely recommend Career Services to anyone who needs help preparing for their job search. read more

I cannot thank Evelyn Zelada (Senior Career Services Specialist) enough for helping me land my first job as a new grad. She prepared me for my very first in-person interview! I needed all the help I could get, and Evelyn was SUPER kind and non-judgmental during my first and very rough round of answering interview questions. During our first mock interview, I was sweating through my shirt and she was so understanding (I was a nervous wreck even though it was a mock interview). She gave great pointers and I ended up making a second appointment with her for another mock interview; the second time around, I looked forward to it (but of course was still nervous). Everything she suggested I do/say---I DID and let me tell you that it paid off! I cannot wait to start working at the end of this month. T H A N K Y O U E V E L Y N !! !! I am so lucky and fortunate to have learned from you; you are great at what you do. I am forever grateful :) read more

West Coast University has many resources for student success. The career services staff, clinical professors and simulation professors work really prepare the students for the nursing field. Daisy Cruz was very helpful in preparing me for the application process of various RN residency programs, resume building and gave me reminders of when to apply. All of the clinical professors are exceptional, they have so many years of experience and I felt that each one really wanted us to succeed as future nurses. They advocated for us to experience as much as possible in the clinical setting and were all very encouraging. As for the simulation lab, I had a great experience, Diane Le was helpful when I needed to reschedule a simulation lab. And most of the simulation professors were really supportive and encouraging. read more

Highly recommend meeting with her! read more

West Coast University has always been my alma mater, and I have always been proud of my experience there. If you are considering the DNP program, I would encourage you to pay close attention to your course and professor assignments. Based on my personal experience, I found Ms. Fazon's class very challenging, particularly when I needed clarification or support. I felt that I did not receive the level of guidance I needed, which made the course experience stressful for me. On the other hand, Dr. Coble and Dr. Eligio were excellent professors to work with. They were supportive, approachable, and willing to provide clarification when needed. I believe having supportive faculty can make a significant difference in a doctoral program, especially when balancing school with work and family responsibilities. I hope WCU continues to listen to students' experiences and ensures that students have the support they need to succeed. read more

She was flexible in meeting with me with one days notice for a mock interview and helped me with what I was weak in (like answering questions). And two days later, I got the job! read more

I graduated from West Coast University in June, and overall, I had a great experience. The nursing program is challenging but very rewarding and I do believe the school prepares you so well for the NCLEX. The biggest frustration I had was with the administration--communication wasn't always timely or consistent, which could be stressful at times, especially when trying to get important information or approvals. That said, the absolute best part of WCU is Career Services, and specifically Talene Zadekian. She truly goes above and beyond for the students. Talene genuinely cares about helping us succeed. She provided thoughtful, detailed feedback on my resume and cover letter, and took the time to coach me through a mock interview. Thanks to her support, I actually landed a job before graduation. Her guidance gave me so much confidence, and it made a real difference in my job search. If you're considering WCU, know that while there may be some bumps along the way, people like Talene make the experience more than worth it. She's hands down the best part of the university. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Tatum Rhorer and the support she provided throughout my nursing school journey.

Her dedication, encouragement, and genuine investment in my future made such a difference during such an important and stressful time. Tatum truly cares about her students and goes the extra mile to help them reach their goals. I am so grateful for all of her guidance and support, and I would highly recommend her to any nursing student looking for career guidance. She is an outstanding career services advisor and an invaluable part of the nursing program! read more

WCU has been a great experience overall. The program is well organized for the most part, and the way the teams, clinical placements, and NAS classes are coordinated has made everything run smoothly. Even PALS has made a huge difference, too! All of the staff have been especially supportive throughout the process. I have loved every teacher I have had; each one is exceptional, and WCU is lucky to have them teaching! (so are we as students!) My NAS teacher, Kristen Davis, has been incredibly helpful during our weekly meetings and always takes the time to make sure I understand the material and feel supported. My financial aid advisor, Raquel De Haro, has also been great to work with and has helped make the financial aid process so much easier to navigate. Although I am only in Core 2, I've had a very positive experience and appreciate the support and organization that WCU provides for its students. One area that could be improved is the quality and availability of supplies during skills validations, as well as updated skills check-off lists. It would be helpful if there were more supplies available so students could practice more effectively and feel fully prepared during validations. For example, I had to use the IV needle about 4 times before the cannula got stretched out; we only had 2 per student to practice with. Overall, I'm grateful for the support from the staff and the structure of the program so far. read more

I am incredibly grateful for Talene in Career Services at WCU. I am thankful for all of her support throughout my job search as a new graduate nurse.

Talene went above and beyond by checking in with me regularly, offering encouragement, and providing guidance every step of the way. When I landed an interview for my dream unit, she continued to support me with genuine care and motivation, which made such a difference during an otherwise stressful process.
