   Grads in Tucson, AZ make about $25/hr days.... which is pretty awesome in my mind considering rent for 1bd/1ba is 600-700 for decent areas.

   kirs replied to nursing123098's topic in Arizona

7. Nice Areas To Live

   kirs replied to LJUN71's topic in Arizona

8. Relocating to Arizona

   kirs replied to LynneCharter44's topic in Arizona

   I'd say go with Tucson, it's cheaper and cooler than Phoenix, still close enough to visit for a day if you get a travel bug. Carondelet is a major hospital system, with hospitals in Tucson. There is an article in the May issue of Nurse Week about Car...

    I say that the first person who gets a permit is the honorary school bus driver for the rest of us. I was able to register with parking services using my student ID, but I need to call about getting a permit on Monday.

    Please let me know, too, if you get an answer on where to send the contract for Carondelet. :) Sidenote - I gave away the rest of my mints that I got from Carondelet, from interview weekend, to my dad just so he won't forget where I will be. :)
