Do you have any idea why leasing was frowned upon in OKC? Are they the normal issues that come with leasing? Ex. High insurance etc

Last inquiry I swear...Does anyone know any good car leasing companies? I'll be headed back down to OKC soon, so I figured I will definitely be needing to figure out transportation... So much to do, so little time :/

Hey ladies thank you so much for the suggestions!! I just returned from OKC..I didn't get a chance to to check out Willow Creeak but Quail Ridge was in a great neighborhood however when I passed by it looked just a tad bit shady lol and since im super paranoid I ended up going with a more expensive complex ..and a short term lease, just so that I can move into a more affordable option should the opportunity arise :)

Okay T minus one month til Okc and STILL no real prospects for amd apartment...anywhere even kind of affordable with my salary has a waitlist... These apartments are ridic expensive, and this is coming from someone who lives in NYC..A nurse should be able to afford a safe 1 bedroom apartment this is insane..

Yes m'am! I'll be on nights. Yayyy, I know one person now :). Well I'll be going out there next week to look for places also, I'll def keep you posted

Awesome MeganMarie. Yes I'm definitely going for it. Just neck deep in paperwork right now. I'm trying to get my license endorsed and figure out where to live, and how I'm going to get around haha. I'm actually going over there the end of this month to have my health screening.

Hey Meganmarie! I actually interviewed for this position in December...OKC seems liks a very unique place, when I say unique I mean very different lol..The mgt for cardiac were very nice, so just be yourself!

Got ya...It's just a little scary knowing I won't have much wiggle room every month ..I guess I've got to get used to the Southern Midwest. I see what you're saying about unionized labor...but the funny thing is here up north when you DON'T have a union the pay is much more...I guess I thought since there. Less unions then the pay would be competitive

Hmm see that's what I've been having a hard time with..my girlfriend who is over in PA just got a new job and her rent including ALL of her utilities is $600 maximum, in a very nice neighborhood... she is going to be making more than me about $5/6 dollars more...So when I hear that my living expenses are going to be in the ballpark of $1000 dollars and that I will be making significantly less than my friend, it makes me kind of think that the cost of living compared to the salary is a little off in OK..No?

Okay, Is that a good neighborhood? I just ask because I am going to be on my own, so safety is a huge priority for me. Also the prices you mentioned, is that with or without utilities, because I've noticed that quite a few places seem to not include anything...I'm thinking it would be easier to have most things included..Especially heat which can be REALLY pricey

Oh WOW. That's awesome! Definitely something different to get accustomed to. I'd love to be able to PM you but apparently I can't since I am new to the website and have less then 15 posts? lol kind of strange.

So I guess living outside of the hospital area is my best bet. Looks like I am going to be doing some extensive searching over the next few weeks. It's good to know cost of living is less than over here because I must admit the salary was definitely a shocker. I'm just hoping I am able to break even every month,with living expenses if not pay off some loans. Thank you SOOOOOO much! I know my questions seem kind of silly, but I've been going crazy thinking about the little things since I'll be on my own. I think am just so NERVOUS about being in an entirely new city. It's good to know I am at a good facility. Hopefully, this will be exciting! :) Thanks again!

Hello I'm a new grad and I've just been hired by OU Medical Center. With the big move fast approaching I still have so many unanswered questioned that I should have probably already researched hahaha. If anyone would be so kind as to help me it would be awesome! I have only been to OKC for my interview once and know absolutely ZERO ppl there, so any info would be hepful. 1. How bad are the tornadoes? I am deathly afraid of storms and hear that OKC is tornado central. So where should I live? and what safety precautions should I look for in an apartment building? 2. How bad are the deer on the roadways? 3. Is OU Medical center esteemed in the OKC community? 4. Are there really no unions in OK? 5. Gas prices/ Price of milk gallon? ANYTHING would be helpful! Thank you so much!
