harlem. I took a position here for the next year though. I've been told by two people who lived in Manhattan a little woman like me doesn't belong in harlem.

Specializes in ICU/CCU.

You'll be fine in Harlem. It's just like anywhere else in the world...you have to be smart about walking alone and being out at night. You'll be in a crowded area up there by the hospital, so that should make you feel a little better. NYC is fast paced, but the Dr's and nurses are just normal people. Do your best and you'll be fine! Enjoy your stay! :)

They are actually here in Phoenix this week at a convention (whoever plans a conevention in mid July in Phoenix should be shot), but I got a job locally. Will look into NYC next summer, probably look for permanent placement in an ICU. Do you have any favorites for area ICUs?

Thanks!
