I am a great student and WILL make a dam good nurse one day! Unfortunatley I have been trying for years to get into a program in Oregon, but the point system to get in is ruthless! I have checked into Portlands ITT program about 2 years ago and was put off because they were not accredited by the Oregon State Board of Nursing and the program cost 54k!!! After years of not getting in anywhere else I heard of my friend who was just about to graduate the program. She did this last quarter in 2013. She said the progam was great but hard at the same time. She was upset they changed the grades from passing with a C to a B but over all made her work harder. I applied for it and took the HESI and passed. I then scheduled an fianicial aid appointment and got their opportunity scholarship so the ENTIRE program will only cost me 20k inclusing books and lab supplies. Its is NOW approved by the Oregon State Board of Nursing as well and has thei RN to BSN program up and running! This is my dream and I don't want to keep waiting to get into another program and my classes start expiring! Only thing I am worried about is if I will get a job or not........I have read basically all these forums and I can't seem to find anyone IN OREGON who has gotten a job after ITT's program......My friend is taking some time off, she has 7 kids, before she applies for a job so she's been no help! haha Thank you ladies!
