Nursing programs at Carrington College-Las Vegas
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at the associate degree in nursing (ADN) level. Programs at this level are the faster, lower-cost way into the profession: an ADN typically takes about two years once prerequisites are done, and many graduates later add a bachelor’s through an RN-to-BSN program.
Cost and student outcomes
The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $55,800 a year. About 66% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $32,100. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $80,600 one year after finishing and $84,500 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 52% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 68% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, so ask the admissions office how applicants are evaluated. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. To work as a nurse in Nevada, graduates apply for a license with the state board of nursing in Nevada and pass the NCLEX.
