Hi all, I am considering moving to the Myrtle Beach area in the next year, and I'm curious to know what pay is like at the hospitals there. I'm a med/surg nurse, specifically ortho, neuro surgery, and telemetry, and have about 4 years of experience...

I am! Just wondering how many of you on here have been accepted. I'm the one who moved from Hawaii with only half of my family, in case I met any of you :)

Just curious... I know the program is 3 days a week, but I'm wondering what days? Are they the same set days, or do they vary week to week? Does anyone have a schedule they can send me for the program you're currently in, just so I can get an idea ...

Nothing here, either.

I took my first RN job at a hospital 316 miles from my house. It's almost a 6 hour commute. I drive down on Wednesday, work thurs, fri, sat, and drive back on Sunday. I'm renting a house with 2 coworkers near the hospital. I'm not moving my whole...

So, I graduated from ITT Portland on March 29th. I took and passed my NCLEX, my RN license posted on April 29th. I was hired at a hospital on May 21st, and I start my first job as an RN on Thursday. Yes the program had it's ups and downs, but the b...

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?

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...

pjcna27, feel free to PM me, I'm a current student at ITT Portland in my 3rd term.

JAGS, are you a current student at Portland?

My classic SE II is SOOO comfortable in my ears. The Sprague that came in my school nursing kit hurt like heck. Do you have the soft comfort tips on your littmann?

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

You can check with the state's Board of Nursing to see schools NCLEX pass rates.

Ah! Finally!! It's me, Christina :)

I just watched that video today. I would love to work there :)

Congratulations guys!!! :)

Right now in Nursing 110, we have lecture for 2 hours, then lab for 2 hours. We've covered things like hygiene, nutrition, intake and output, restraints, walking with assistive devices... a lot of review for me from my CNA training. I also have A&a...

Those sound like great scores guys!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both, and I'll check back to see your results!! I'm in 2nd quarter and it's going great so far. Can't wait to get further along :)

I'll be buying a minivan. Obviously, my paycheck won't cover this... hahaha but that's what it's going towards. When I move back home, my car is staying here for my dad, so I'll need a new one. It will be my first time ever buying a new car and I ...

Congratulations!! Any of the rest of you get word yet?

webgrl, who are you?

My parents purchased a house in Troutdale to use as a second home, and eventually as a place to retire. I went to visit over the last two weeks with my mom and son, and while we were there I checked out the PN programs at Concorde and Sumner, and th...
