Devon, Arizona sounds like it would be lots of fun!! I went to Drexel University College of Nursing in Philadelphia, PA. I've lived in the Philadelphia area my whole life. If you're still having issues with your HHG send me an email ([email protected]...

that's awesome carolinakate88!! robsrn888: I am hoping to find someone at ODS to live with as well in the Virginia area.

Sw88tpea thank you for getting back to me!! Yeah to be quite honest there weren't many living options besides the Myrtles and Harbor Towers and 1 bedrooms were expensive $999- $1150 (including most utilities). Ensigns are given $1266 BAH in the Nor...

carolinakate88: yes!!! it's such a relief to know I am not going to Portsmouth alone! I went to visit twice and it seems like an awesome facility! Where did you go to nursing school? Did you do the NCP?
