Question about living in NYC on RN salary

Published

I'm a 26yo. male currently in Nursing School in Pittsburgh (ADN program)...I am interested in moving to NYC after obtaining a PA Nursing license...Besides finding a place, transferring the Nursing license, etc. Is it possible to make it on my own on a Rn salary. I would rather not live in an outer borough so basically I want to know if I'd make it in Manhattan...I realize I'm not going to have a lavish apartment so I would be looking for a studio...And I would prefer not to have a roomate...you people would know best! Thanks for any input in advance! :up:

Another thing you might also consider looking into is whether or not the hospital hires ADNs. Most large private hospitals in the city that have housing options - NYP, NYU, Mt. Sinai (not sure about housing options on this), only hire BSNs, ADNs with significant experience. Good luck! :)

NYP still hires ADN new grads.
