Hi all!I am a student nurse in Louisiana. I am planning to move to Portland after I graduate in 1.5 yrs. I would like to live in Portland this summer and work as a nurse tech or extern or in any other capacity to get experience there and find out about the local hospitals.Any ideas? Thanks!!

I would apply early b/c it takes 3-4 months for the application to process. http://www.visn20.med.va.gov/apps/portlandhr/Title5CMS.asp (Student Nurse Technician)Hope this helps :)
