Any NJ nurses working in NY?

I graduated in May and got licensed in NY as well. It took 1 month for me to get my NY license after my NJ license came in the mail. I would get the ball rolling if you are looking to be licensed in NY as well. They have multiple criteria/forms they need completed before they will license you. It took me 3 months to get a job in a hospital, which happened to be in NYC. I think they are hiring a bit more than NJ hospitals and the pay is a bit higher too. I'm not sure what the tax situation will be, but I heard that NJ offers a tax credit for working in NY and paying NY taxes... Hope this helps. Good luck in the job hunt!

I also have a license in NY as well as in NJ. Just so you know, if you plan to work with children, New York requires mandatory CEU's in pediatics and reporting child abuse to practice nursing. If you are "just over the border" and the commute into the City is decent and it is not too gruelling, then go for it if this is what you are looking for. Just know it can get expensive just to travel over the GW Bridge if you are driving. Also, if taking the train or other mass transit it may take MUCH longer than what Mapquest says! Also, consider, the taxes if you work in Manhattan. I believe there is a state, city and municipal tax as well as a NJ withholding tax that you eventually get a credit for. The positive thing about NY is the great learning experiences and great teaching hospitals, especially in Manhattan. I am assuming you are in North Jersey, if so then also check out hospitals in Rockland and Orange counties if working in Manhattan is too hectic for you. Hope this helps!
