Lincoln-Day Three…and our last day for this trip

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Our third day in Lincoln was busy, but very productive.  First, we had some appointments for looking at apartments, but didn’t realize that the viewings would only take about half an hour. So we took all the appointments we had planned on Thursday and got them all accomplished before the morning was over.  We had a choice between two places that stood out to us. One was a nice two bedroom apartment that was north of campus.  The other was a two bedroom townhouse that is just near campus.  We settled on the town house. It is a nice place with a garage that is really close to campus and the hospital. It is available for us to move in on the weekend of June 20th.

In the early afternoon Traci was going to meet with the nurse manager who interviewed her at the hostpital, BryanLGH. To her surprise, after a tour of the floor she had interviewed for, she found out some bad news.  The same floor at the downtown campus of this hospital was being closed, so all the nurses from there were being transferred to the campus where Traci was suppose to be hired. But they offered her a position on the Medical/Renal floor (not to be confused with Anal floor :) .  She will be starting on July 7th at the hospital. It will be a huge learning experience for her and she is excited and nervous!

Because things went faster and easier than we anticipated, we will be meeting with the law student I have been in contact with in the morning and heading part way back on Thursday morning. That way we won’t have to pull a full 12 hour day of driving again.  Traci has an aching tail bone :) .

We will talk with you all soon and can’t wait to share more of our experience!
