Specializes in NICU, ICU, PICU, Academia.

Both my teens go to college there and my sister lives and works there (she's an RN).

It's on the Ohio River, there's one of those damned riverboat casinos. And a summer speedboat race weekend. In the fall they have a gigantic community fair that runs for a week or two.

About an hour north is Vincennes, with some interesting historical sites related to George Rogers Clark and the Revolutionary War .

About an hour east is Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. a family-friendly amusement/ water park complex where the sunscreen and soda is free all day. And Santa Claus itself is cute. Near THAT is Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home- which is an interesting place.

Nearby is also Harmonie- a state park built around the early Utopian Movement settlement at New Harmony. Lovely spot.

And finally, my dear friends Charles and Beth live in Mt. Vernon, but you don't know them.....

I grew up in Evansville. It's tiny and has that painfully dull small-town feel (which is why I hit the road as soon as I was old enough and never looked back.) It may have improved since I left but back in '95 all we had to do for fun was Putt Putt, a skating rink and one indoor pool, plus a couple of nice outdoor pools in the summertime. BORING.

Which hospital will you be working at? My sister works at Deaconess and likes it.
