@SimranDhillon Right now the staff are working very hard on trying to get the new cohort’s schedule situated and the seniors as well. We haven’t received our second term’s schedule yet and it’s starting next week. Last time I heard is that they were working on you guy’s schedule with great clinical sites and decisions if you guys should be coming back to class for lecture or will be using TEAMS. You should be hearing back in a week or two.

@AnonAMoose hello there, lecture is once a week on TEAMS and clinicals were twice a week. One for med-surg and one for mental health at the same time. They give you days that you can choose to go on clinicals but first come first serve. I just heard back from my instructor saying that they are transitioning us to going back to the campus starting April 6th. Nothing is final yet but there’s a high chance that two RN cohorts will be there at the same time but as they say, nothings final due to the severity and changes of COVID. I really liked being online because I lived an hour away but at the same time having that in class experience will be better for learning too. We’re getting a lot of good clinical sites so you guys are coming in at a very good time if you’re coming in April. Hope that answers your questions. Have a wonderful evening.

@PRNnurse hello. It’s an associates degree program and I called WGU and they accept carrington credits! Most online school accepts the associates program from Carrington.

@Jennifer Goodpasture hello. They will let you know at least 3-4 weeks ahead. The next program starts in April and they will call you to let you know if you made it in or didn’t. Please give them time as well because the Director told us last week that there were over 200 applicants so they’re doing their best to see who are the best candidates among those 200. There’s only 24-26 spot available only. It’s a very competitive program so as long as you have 3.7 GPA OR HIGHER, good TEAS score (75 or higher), and at least 1-2 years experience as a LVN, you will be a highly favorable candidate. I hope I was able to answer your questions and good luck!?

@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.

@ConnieLVN2RN 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.

@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.

@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.

@MorganD this is for August start date. Carrington’s credit actually works for MJC, Delta, PUC. You just need to take a few more classes and that’s it.

@MorganD I honestly think that’s a very good GPA to get into any RN program but from what I heard from -------------------(rep from carrington) that the they have been accepting mostly students with 3.7 or higher, 70% in TEAS, and at least two years of experience in LVN. Not to discourage you but try to retake a class to bump up to a 3.7 to be more competitive because most students that I know so far that are applying are coming with a 3.9-4.0. I hope for all of us to get accepted though. Good luck❤️

@ConnieLVN2RN have you heard anything back yet from anyone?

@MorganD hi there, the application process was a lot to take in. It took me a whole month just to get everything together so allow yourself at least 2-4 weeks to actually get everything together or you will be very late to submitting your application. It was very hard for this time around because of COVID, the school was closed and everything was explained through the phone. I messed up three times and got an earful from Toni LOL. Was my fault tho anyways. The application consists of background/drug screen which was $135 and three work vertifications that you have to get it signed off, TEAS scores, physical check, immunization/blood titer results, and many more LOL Make sure to do very well in your classes as you have more chances to get in if you have a very high GPA.

@rmc465 thank you so much for your encouragement. It’s very nerve wrecking waiting to hear back and I for sure bothered ---------------------- so much that she knows me LOL and she even kept me updated letting me know that I completed everything and will hear back soon. I hope for the best for all of us during this rough time. I really just want to get in, do my best and start working???

@ConnieLVN2RN yeah sadly a lot of things are on hold and it’s really upsetting. Let’s keep each other updated when we hear anything back from anyone❤️?

@ConnieLVN2RN girl we got this! Be positive and be proud that we made it this far. I truly think that other school will take us in a heartbeat with our GPA tho. It’s just carrington ? I talked to delta and MJC at Modesto and they accept carrington’s credits so try over there as well. I’m just waiting to hear back so I can move on. I’m planning on applying at PUC in Napa and I believe my chances over there are better. Maybe try there as well. ?
