   christinamuniz replied to jaspersun's topic in Oregon

   I applied for this round. I was wondering the same regarding salary, and I think that the only logical explanation is that the pay will increase once offered a full time position. Any idea on when we hear about the next step?

6. ITT Tech's New Program???

   christinamuniz replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   I like it, a lot. I feel like I am learning, and I love the fact that I only go to school a few days a week. I have children, and it's easy to deal with daycare and such when I only go to school 2-3 days a week. Anywhere you go, you will have issu...

10. Altres - yay or nay?

    christinamuniz replied to gazeyball's topic in Hawaii

    I say yay. I signed up with them as a CNA to work their flu shot clinics in the public schools. Pay is great and they're so flexible with hours. If they can get you into a hospital, you can likely get a permanent position after you are done with ...

11. ANY students finishing ITT tech portland Nursing Program

    christinamuniz replied to MicheleMA's topic in Oregon

    The reason you can't find anyone almost done is because this is a new program. I'm in my 3rd quarter, and the first cohort of students are in their 5th quarter (out of 9 quarters). The program is great. The scheduling is convenient (2-3 days per w...

12. ITT Tech's New Program???

    christinamuniz replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

    Because clinicals are very new to our school, they are still setting up agreements with locations. We will be in hospitals for clinicals, but for our fist quarter of clinicals we are not focusing on specialties that require hospital stays. If they ...

13. ITT Tech's New Program???

    christinamuniz replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

    The main reason why you will not find out where the clinicals are, is because they are likely to change from quarter to quarter. We are constantly looking for new facilities as our program is growing very quickly. 30 new students every 11 weeks. O...
