Clinical Experience
WCU's LVN to BSN students have a broad set of options for clinical placement.
Where you earn your degree—and where you do your clinical rotation—can make a real difference. West Coast University's LVN to BSN bridge program in California & Texas isn't tied to one particular hospital, we have 500 clinical partners nationwide, so we’re able to draw on a much more diverse set of site options in assigning your clinical placement.
West Coast University offers a variety of ways for BSN students to make a difference in the community, while they learn. From community health events, like our Care Harbor LA and on-site assistance at Centennial High School’s Clinic, to providing aid to patients at home and abroad—you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference from day one.
