Stuart and I had a great trip to Columbia, Missouri last week for Stuart's interview at UM. Our reception seemed favorable and we will hear something for sure in mid April. I was able to check out the area--approximately 100,000 people, with good public schools, and a variety of hiking trails in the area. There are only a few RN positions currently posted and I learned that I would take a pay cut to work in the city but there are multiple hospitals in town. We were impressed by the vibrant downtown which is home to many small stores and restaurants. However, I was disappointed with the variety of yoga classes offered--I'm spoiled by my friends and teachers at yogeast.
