Nursing in NYC

Hi Everyone,

I've been interested for some time in some of the hospitals in New York City. NYP, Mt. Sinai, and NYU Medical Center. I was just wondering what life is like for a new Nursing grad living & working in NYC? I'm not from there and have only heard things like how expensive things are, you can't have a care etc.

All those things set aside the Hospitals are all among the best in the country and the city is awesome. I've visited a few times and each time its been one of the most exciting places ever. I'm just curious if anyone went through this as a new hire.

How your quality of life was back then and is now? I worry about simple things like where could I get a membership to a pool? Do they have that. Could I afford that. What would my living accomdoations look like.

Thanks ahead of time

Your questions are quite broad - I will do my best to give you an idea about NYC. Most people who work in Manhattan do not live in Manhattan. It is much more common to live in Brooklyn/Queens/Bronx and commute via subway. And if you live near to public transportation, your life will be much less complicated (and cheaper) without a car. Parking can be near impossible depending on what neighborhood you settle on.

As far as living accomodations, it really depends on where you are and what you can afford. There is such a variety here - some of the richest people in the country live here, but also some of the poorest.

If you're considering working in NYP (168th St), some cheaper options are Washington Heights or the Bronx.

Mount Sinai you could live in Queens or in the South Bronx (not as nice an area as the North).

NYU you might be able to live in Brooklyn or Queens.

Wherever you decide, just make sure you get a feel for the neighborhood first, since many areas are heavily populated with certain nationalities and you may or may not feel comfortable.

Good luck.
