So it's official, the fiancee and I are headed to Bethel to work at the hospital. This will be my first contract as a travel nurse. She gets there on May 3rd and I'll be there the 23rd, once I finish my two week notice in Barrow and get stuff packed for shipping. I needs must get together with the Barrow crew before I head out!

Did the Arctic just take its toll on you, or are you moving for better work opportunities? I thought I remembered you being one who loves Barrow, so I was just wondering what it is that makes you want to leave. I'm always curious about these things, you know. Especially as they relate to Alaska.

They'll love it here even more. Coming just in time to see the river ice break up, birds are flying here in force, 42 above this evening and the sun is shining in between clouds. It's a great day.

Wynternight - What will you guys be doing at the hospital??? I don't work in Bethel, but I do take a couple of trips a year to Bethel to meet people at the hospital and the public health staff.

I'll be moving to Bethel for a travel assignment at the hospital, too. I'll be there in mid-May. Kinda intimidated about the cost of living. I've already started stocking up on dry goods to take with me.

Supposedly the place I'll be staying is by the prison. Can anyone tell me how far away it is from the hospital? Is it in walking distance? Is it easy to buy a cheap used bike to go back and forth to work? I'm not looking forward to paying $10 or more a day to take a cab back and forth from home to the hospital.

Any info is appreciated, plus any tips/advice anyone is willing to offer.

Thanks!
