by indiejonesRN Feb 16, '11Just wanted to say that I was a part of the first graduating class from Carrington College (formerly Apollo College) in Reno. There were 19 of us who graduated. We have all taken the NCLEX and can now boast that we have a 100% first time pass rate!!!!!!! Also, everyone who wanted a job got a job. We are all so grateful to the wonderful staff who pushed us, we could not have done it without them! Once again a 100% pass rate!!!!

I'm flying down to Reno for the information session and HESI test, but the wait is killing me. Could you please share with us your experience at Carrington? How was your schedule for the week? Did you feel prepared at the end of the program to take the NCLEX?
Thank you! - Jun 20, '11 by BristowaHi jillane2011,
How did the visit to Carrington go? The cost makes me nervous so I haven't gone in yet, what did you find out? Have they already accepted their fall class? When does it start? Thanks for any info you have! - Jun 20, '11 by jillane2011Quote from indiejonesRNindiejonesRN,Just wanted to say that I was a part of the first graduating class from Carrington College (formerly Apollo College) in Reno.

if you don't mind me asking, what was your score on the HESI A2 test for the Math, Reading, and Vocabulary? I'm applying to Carrington, and they said they're only accepting 32 students so I'm curious.
Thank You! - Jun 20, '11 by jillane2011Quote from BristowaHi Bristowa!Hi jillane2011,

I attended their info session and went along for the tour. I'm in love with the campus, away from distraction (which is perfect for me) and the simulation lab is beautiful!! The cut off date is July 22, and they send out letters July 29. They start Aug. 29. They accept students after an:
interview
letter to admissions
copy of hs diploma/ged
background check
drug screen
and most importantly....
a min. score of 75% (Math, Reading, Vocabulary) on the HESI A2.
I didn't realize that private schools are just as competitive! Since they're only accepting 32 students, with the highest score on HESI A2 + after meeting the requirements above. I just wish it wasn't 48K
but it'll all be worth it.
