      They are very unorganized, I've been at this school for two years, and repeating courses. Between life, work, a kid and there last minute changes, and last second communication. I've gone through a lot to stay in this school. They only seem to call about money but won't call or leave voicemails about paperwork and documents needed. I pray this school, starts appreciating and respecting there students time and lives. I can vouch for a lot of the complaint on this site for Carrington. They want to drop me from the program after already starting me. The **** emailed me 4 hours before deadline to sign paperwork. Saying he was just made aware. The administration lack of communication to the person in charge has zero to do with me. I shouldn't be punished for a business lack of communication. I've already choose and been at this school. I actually participated and engaged in class, while most are lost in space or being shallow and vain. I show up everyday. Do my assignments, track down what is do. Cause they never gave me canvas access it going on second week. Heavenly father please put order back in this school. Amen I have emails, times and videos of how this school operates. It's already challenging continuing education. This school make you want to end your life. You put in all this work for them to try and pull the rug. With Carrington collage, lack of integrity, poor administration persons attitudes, HIGH professor/ administration turnover, that trickles downs and results in poor operations, NEGATIVELY impacting lives and this school wasting humans time. Any nursing class that started there in 2022 did not get a fair education. I was happy to LOA, thought they would have more figured out, like lectures and learning materials, a working canvas. The basics. I wouldn't recommend this school. Plus I had to get back stable.
