Nyc!

I want to try living in NYC after I get done with my first year of nursing and was wondering which hospitals were good (Med-Surg wise), pt to nurse ratios, and where housing is available (i.e. close to work or not), etc.

I work for New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell site (68th and York). I like it there, but I don't work Med/Surg. I think that the patient ratio on those units are like 1:8, but not sure. I live in hospital housing and I live 5 blocks from the hospital.

I think NYU and Mt. Sinai have also housing. As for the rest of the hospitals in Manhattan and outer boroughs, I'm not sure.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to get hospital housing and what do they consider when picking applicants? Seniority, locals, etc?? How much is your rent? It seems like everybody would want to get that...

Rents vary according to apartment size, probably anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500 for a studio...not all studios are the same size.

I got an apartment immediately, but I went live in a building that only houses critical care nurses and there happened to be 1 apartment left. Residents, interns, MDs are priority, so May, June, July are difficult months to get an apartment. If you get hired, you need to put your name on the wait list at the housing office.
