Carrington College

Absolutely love my school. My teacher is great and gives me all the help I need. Only a couple things I’d want different. Better back checks on students, more supplies, but other than that awesome! I even got my sister applied! Y’all rock! Cassie-​medical assisting

I attended this school and the commination was terrible, I felt that lab was a waste of time because we were just doing vitals the majority of the time everything else we’ve done one or twice which does not properly prepare you for extern. when you sign up for school they don’t tell you that your extern has to be done in the mornings only so if you are attending school at night because you work in the morning you might want to make arrangements with your job early. I attended Carrington and had to drop out so when I returned I inquired on my venipuncture’s and it took me about a month in a half for them to tall me that they discarded them and I have to start all over (keep in mind I only had 3 mods left and I was already halfway through my second MOD), you need 50 venipuncture’s to be eligible to take your phlebotomy certification test and it defiantly wasn’t possible that I would get all them completed so now I have to go to another school to receive the sticks that I’ve already earned at Carrington the first time around and apparently I wasn’t the only one. If you do decide to attend Carrington please ask questions, lots! Know exactly what your getting yourself into.

The Respiratory Program here is wonderful! It’s hard to believe that I am almost done with school and I can honestly say this school was my best choice.
I have had the unfortunate event to attend Pima initially for the same program, so I can honestly say that I have the ability to compare. I cannot emphasize enough what a breath of fresh air (haha, RT joke) it is to look forward to school and work with teachers who WANT you to excel, who offer tutoring when you need it, on a constant basis and who want you to SUCCEED!
I love the continuity that each semester has to offer, we work with the same instructor for the entire semester and not only they are available, but ALL the instructors are available to answer any questions you may have and tutoring. And Dawn, the director? They couldn’t have put a better person in that position. She keeps it 100% real with you, encourages you, nudges you and pushes you because she realizes the full potential in you as a student and a future RRT. She does not push you by INTIMIDATING YOU, she gives you positive and constructive criticism if needed. Thank you Dawn for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us.
Did I mention that when RRT students from this campus graduate, from what I remember, we are able to transfer our credits to any 2 – 4 year university to extend our education for a bachelors degree and we graduate with only 20 (give or take, depending on whatever bachelors degree you are trying to get) credits left to obtain our BRST?
Carrington is the best choice I’ve made. If you are ever wanting to go to school to be an RRT… don’t look anywhere else. Get on the wait list if you have to… this school or CSN are your best choices.
