2. OHSU Experts: Help!!!!

   matsalleh replied to MallysMama's topic in Oregon Nursing

   OK, so I think the Trimet bus stop ID near the nursing school is 9488. If I'm wrong about this, then this is the number for the bus stop at the main hospital, which is a few stops later, so you'll...

   I don't know Wilsonville well, so I'm not sure I can give you good advice on the best way to get up to OHSU from there, but here are some links that may be helpful. Here is a link to the Trimet Park...

4. Portland-Nice place to visit but dont stay?

   matsalleh replied to puravidaLV's topic in Oregon Nursing

   I work at OHSU too and I don't know what "free parking" Blonde Babe is talking about unless she works at night. If you work at night, it's free. Otherwise, we all pay. During the day and for students...

   "Nope. With the exception of your description of Vancouver, you are perfectly incorrect. The areas you have mentioned are the 'burbs and are nice enough (and some areas not so nice). All areas of...

6. Relocation/Jobs in Portland area

   matsalleh replied to orionsbelt123's topic in Oregon Nursing

    matsalleh replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

11. AAS at PCC or transfer to OHSU for a BSN

    matsalleh replied to LaVanawayj's topic in Oregon Nursing

    matsalleh replied to LaVanawayj's topic in Oregon Nursing
