Looking for some help!

Hi, I am currently a high school student (10th grade) trying to plan my transition from high school to college & i am looking for some advice/input/recommendations. I am so sure that I want to become a nurse! The past 6 months or so I've been doing a lot of research on colleges & have only found one that i am particularly interested in, Hunter. I'm attracted to it for many reasons (public, good reviews, located in the city ...) but, i need more options! I'm really afraid that it'll end up being the only college i apply to & won't get accepted! Can anyone recommend me some school that are in NYC (particularly in Manhattan or Queens) that are public (for low costs) & have good nursing programs. For now I am mainly focused on getting my BSN & becoming a registered nurse, then I would like to go for my masters.

Also I was wondering if there are any nurses currently living in Manhattan that could tell me about the cost of living & some good areas for housing. I've always loved Manhattan & although I do not currently live there right now I'd really love to move there one day.

I'm not sure if I should even be this worried about college right now as I'm only a sophomore in high school, but I feel like if I don't decide these things now I never will or will at least have great difficulties doing so, or even worse, try to rush through these decisions!

thank you :)
