Student Choice

Why Students Choose Westcliff

More Than a Campus — A Beginning

Westcliff’s Corona campus isn’t just where you learn – it’s where your nursing life path truly begins. From your first day, you’ll be prepping for the NCLEX-RN, training in modern simulation labs, and getting hands-on experience that actually feels real. The manikins breathe, blink, and respond – so you’re not just reading about nursing, you’re doing it.

Outside the lab, the campus is very comfortable. Study quietly, team up with classmates, grab a coffee nearby, or chill in the student lounge. There’s free parking, easy freeway access, and local food spots all around – because nursing school shouldn’t feel like a full-time juggling act.
