Nine days of driving, 5714 miles total. What a trip!! I'm so glad I did it and very happy it's over. Saw some beautiful sights in BC and the Yukon.

Awesome. I am doing Memphis-Anchorage in about a month. I would love to hear your thoughts/feedback on the trip.

Where did you drive from? We have to return to New Orleans and collect our stuff at some point.

Sorry, didn't mean to be nosy! Still anticipating starting a job hunt in August and was curious if Barrow was a bad idea.

teridb, took us close to 3 months to get relicensed here. They now require fingerprints and 30 ceu's plus some other stuff. We were licensed here for 7 yrs, went south, came back after another 6 yrs. I see you are posting from FL., that is where we were prior to coming back up. FYI, Barrow is a very small hospital--looked into it myself. I do critical care and Barrow wasn't the place for me. Missus does med/surg, surgery and she was not at all interested--but we've been doing this for close to 22 years. Have you considered Anchorage to start out? Get lots of good experience there--we both loved Providence Medical Center. I know a E.D. nurse that works in Soldotna and she loves it. We work in Sitka and have two small hospitals here--the weather isn't as harsh during the winter.

I decided it was time to go back to school and start working on my MSN. I'm wanting to be a NP and ain't gettin' any younger.
