I chose Sumner because they had a rigorous program that I felt would prepare me to be a good nurse, and I enjoyed working with nurses who had graduated from there. I really appreciate the support they gave to us as students and the flexibility they had for students in school with diverse needs and schedules. Since graduating, I have been enjoying a fast-paced new grad life in the Cardiac ICU at Adventist Health. I work with patients on some of the worst and scariest days of their lives, and feel so lucky that I get to be their support. I learn every day on every shift, not just from other nurses but from my patients. I really feel like I am living my dream career!

I chose Sumner because they did not require pre- requisites, and I wanted to jump start my career as an RN sooner. I also liked their hybrid program, and being able to do school from home with two littles. I’m now an operating room nurse at a level one trauma hospital here in Portland. I take care of pediatric patients, burn patients, and adults needing surgery. I love being a circulating nurse and getting to scrub cases as well! I enjoy taking care of a variety of patients on a day to day basis, and love the excitement my job brings me!
