   Found out there is a waiting list today at my school for the nursing program. Looks like its gonna be alittle while before I can get in the classes and graduate. Wanted to ask you all, I will be 26 - 27 by the time I graduate, is that a normal age...

   Will do. When I get up there I am not concerned about getting that NP degree right away. I think I will live comfortably off a nurses salary in the meantime right? I figure I'll get myself a nice little studio in a good part of manhattan, or decent...

   No I definilty want to live in NY. I want to work and go to school there. I am thinking strongly about going to Columbia University and getting my Nurse Practitioner Degree. I will probably work for a year first so that my credits are cheaper than a...

   I want to work in emergency medicine, or critical care. I really don't want to do the Jersey thing. For me its all about living in New York city. I want to live there, not just work there. I want to walk down the block and hit 20 stores, and restrau...

   Thank you for the words of encouragement. I have pretty much made up my mind to do the NY thing no matter what the cost. I was looking at several listings and they are No Fee and look to be in decent areas. As far as buying a house I probably would...

   I saw quite a bit of nice properties in the NY times site. It looks like there are alot of decent 1 bedrooms in midtown or upper east side. I am afraid of uppereastside though , since isn't that connected to Harlem? I don't want to be moving from on...

   What are the decent areas to live in that aren't too ridiculous in rent ? And other than hot dog stands , are the restraunts or diners fairly cheap? Can you get a decent meal for $10.00 ?

    Ok a few questions. What would be the average cost of a somewhat cheap meal in NYC ? What is a decent area of Manhattan for the cost.....? Are there any good sites to look for info on NY and rent and whatnot without paying? Also , as a new grad peo...

    I have heard the same thing. :) I am very strongly looking at moving there, but I am trying to get a feel for the jobs there. Is it easy to get an RN job as a new grad with 6 months exp. ? What is the pay like on average? How much are the taxes ?

    Wow, 65000 is a great starting salary for new grads ! What does that come out to after taxes? For a single mail with no allowances how much should I expect on average to come out of my paycheck? What percentage? 30 % ?

    RobbieAllee replied to RobbieAllee's topic in New York

    Well i suppose if i am making decent money I can get a more expensive place since I won't need a car. I know people anywhere can be nasty, I was just saying on average up there , whats the norm? I will most likely be living somewhat near a subway ...

    RobbieAllee replied to RobbieAllee's topic in New York

    Well I'm definitly not looking at bringing my car up there. The car payment, insurance, and parking is too expensive and not worth it. I wanted to live in the city and use the train and bus to get where I need to, or walk :) As far as Jersey , what i...

    What about Brooklyn? I heard they have decent housing there......though living in FL , we hear all these stories about how bad the crime is up there. Which I think is funny since Miami is in the top 5 crime states in the nation every year. I am alitt...
