TMCC or Carrington?

Published

Hello all,

New here and I have a question. If any of you have experience in these schools it would really benefit a lot hearing your feedback.

I graduated from High School on 2014. And I've decided to obtain Nursing as a career. I'm torn between TMCC and Carrington. I like TMCC because it's cheaper and I've heard good things about the nursing program that they have. I like Carrington because it's a two year program, but my question is do you take Pre Reqs during the program at Carrington? I have also heard mixed reviews as well. (I do have plans to obtain my BSN after I get my ADN) I have talked to both schools and I'm kind of in the mindset of getting the program done as quickly as possible. What is deterring me from TMCC is that I have to take my Pre Reqs before I go into the program, which- I believe is normal. But after taking my ACCUPLACER I feel that I am going to have to take many years of pre reqs (especially in math) before getting into the program. I am planning on talking to the academic advisor and see a layout of my "schedule" before applying officially. So I'm in a rut. After thinking about it for a couple months, I do want to take my time with school, because I have heard that college is a great experience. But I want to have a definite answer of which college to go to because it's either going to be "Broke like a joke, but getting it done" or "Cheap, but it's been a hot minute"

I could go on and on but I feel that you're catching my drift.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I am planning on starting Carrington in June. I recommned going to their website or give them a call and go to the next information orientation. They will lay out everything that's included/involved with their program. I chose Carrington because I don't have to do 3 years (because of my work schedule and how each class has a pre-req of another that has a pre-req of another) of pre-requisittes, including math and science classes.

Carrington offers your math and science classes, along with human anatomy and physiology in the first two of the six semesters. Check out their website or call Pamela, she's the admissions coordinator! Her office number is 335-2931
