Carrington College Sacramento - LVN to RN

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

Hello anyone attended Carrington bridge program in Sacramento? I would like to know how's the program. Thank you.

@ConnieLVN2RN checking up with you, have you heard anything back yet? I don't understand why it is taking this long. My friends from the class of April that are in the RN program couldn't even get into any clinical sites and haven't even got their schedule for next semester which started on Monday. I wonder if they might postponed the students.

No I haven't heard anyone. I know -------------------------- stated that she was going to personally call/email each student regardless. I think they are just trying to figure out the classroom/clinical setting since things are up in the air with Covid-19 and California case numbers increasing.

I know many of us have already gotten the call from our enrollment specialist at Carrington College informing us that they have decided to postpone the RN program because of Covid-19 and being limited on clinical sites. They won't have any new students until Winter in December. Good luck to you all.

@ConnieLVN2RN Hi Connie, I just heard back from Carrington last week and got accepted to their December 2020 RN program. Have you heard back from them as well? My friend had a 3.6 GPA and was able to get in. Wish you the best of luck.

Congrats to you. So very happy for you. Yeah I talked to ----------------------------. I had already started attending another school, since I was unsure about the program and didn't know if I was going to get in.

That's great that you got into a program. Where did you get into, if you don't mind me asking? Good luck to the both of us. I pray that we don't go into another lockdown and ultimately slowing us down.

Hi guys! 
Hope y’all are doing well! I had a couple questions about Carrington. 
I did my prerequisites there will be applying for Spring 21 start. How likely is it to get in With a 3.8 GPA and 81 on the TEAS? I’ve heard a lot of different things and I’m super nervous.

@SimranDhillon you have a very high chance of getting in. I just heard from the Director that there is 200 applicants as well that applied so it can be competitive. They also take work experience to an account so if you have more than 2 years of work experience, you’ll likely have a better chance. Good luck. So far, we have got great clinical sites that are finally accepting us to go back to the facility so this is good news for you guys as well.

Thank you for getting back to me! Wow 200 that’s a lot!! 
I have about 2.5 years of experience so I’m hopping that’ll make the cut! I’m glad you have great clinical sites, that’s always a plus!

Is there anything else I can do at this point?

good luck! I attended, and I graduated. Was quite the journey especially during a pandemic, but I got it done.

Could you please share the on-campus schedule? How many times did you have to go on campus, and how were the clinical sites handled? 

A friend's coworker graduated May 2020 and said she only had to be on campus once per week, which would be absolutely fantastic (since I live 1.5 hrs away) but also makes me a bit skeptical that it's true.
