I recently finished the LVN program at Carrington College. There were some issues and the some people complained about the teachers and staff. But for me it was a way to get my LVN fast, and get on to my RN. It does cost a lot but I'm not sitting on a waiting list wondering if I will ever get in. My advice is if you can get into an RN program a college or university do that but if not Carrington is a good alternative. I know several LVN grads from Carrington that have jobs and are very happy.
