    Jumpy replied to Jumpy's topic in Arizona

    Congrats. Are you at the west campus or else where? Financial aid can be tricky, and I know plenty of people who have hit the same block. Sorry that this happened. Are you moving out of Tucson for this BSN program?

14. My first non-nurse hospital job. Ideas?

    Thank you. That's a start. Silly question, what is the job of "transportation"? I assume that it is about transporting patients around the hospital, in a non-automobile sense.
