sumner college vs itt tech

they have agreements with places so you can finish your bsn... for the l and d rotation you do things with pregnancy houses in Portland, I don't want to do the commmunity college route, so if this isn't a good idea I will go to concorde for surgery tech. I know they are for profit I know they cost a lot that part doesn't bother me.

I got my ma done at heald college and did really well and got a job after, I learn much better in that environment vs community college its much more hands on and a smaller classroom size and a set schedule which works better for me with 3 children, to each their own but I have had better sucess in these learning environments

Hey Brittney. Just wondering if you actually enrolled with Sumner college. I am planning to do their LPN program but still have my doubts.

Community college ADN programs do not offer a L&D rotation either, just lifespan care. OCNE curriculum - the majority of community college in Oregon use this curriculum - doesn't have a a L&D or maternal newborn specific course. It doesn't really costs that much more if you have to rake pre reqs at a community college and get all A's in the A&P series and finish all the other courses. Many people I know spent years taking pre reqs and didn't even get in. Now two of them are at Concordia spending even more money just to try to get into a program. Sumner has a good reputation. I work at facility that offers rotations to their students. I am applying for the RN program. They also have an agreement with an online RN to BSN to finish up in 14 months. The total for these two program is MUCH less than any BSN school I have looked at. I guess if you have bills think about it this way. spend 4 years taking classes to prepare for a two program, or spend the money and get done in 24 months and start working.

Hello, just wondering if you ever enrolled in the LPN program at Sumner? If so, can you tell me your experience so far? Thanks.

I know someone at Sumner and has had 4 days at a hospital clinical setting vs CC or universities that go to a hospital, acute care each week. Sumner is new so they do not have agreements for clinicals in acute care here in portland and you need to travel to middle of Washington to do your two weekends of hospital acute care stuff. Other than that your clinicals are in a SNF.

I go to a CC and I do have the option of doing a L&D or Peds rotation if that is something I am into. :) Just an FYI. Good luck!

I also know a couple people who graduated from Sumners and got jobs at the hospital despite their limited clinical rotations at school :)

That is extremely comforting to hear. I am looking to start the RN program at Sumner but am moving ALLL the way from Arizona so when I read some of the posts about not being able to find a job after graduation it has been making me VERY wary...have you been through the RN program at SUmner victorias1? Thanks for the help!!
