[support] Accessing values in the $node variable..

[Nancy Wichmann]

Here's some code I use for dealing with collections. Perhaps it will help you to solve you problem.
  $collection = field_get_items($entity_type, $entity, 'field_consultant_cost_breakout');
  $count = count($collection);

  $total = 0;
  for ($i = 0; $i < $count; ++$i) {
    // Entity_load will return an array with the entity number as the key.
    $item = array_pop(entity_load('field_collection_item', array($entity->field_consultant_cost_breakout[LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['value'])));
    $total += $item->field_total_cost[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'];
  }
