Can some one tell me about how to move to NYC!!!?
Okay my sister and I have decided that we want to move to NYC.. How do we find affordable housing for two LPNs where all of our check wont just go towards rent but we will actually be able to shop. In this move no children will be involved.. Should we bring a car or not. We want to be close to a hospital where we can work at. Please help we need alot of HOW INFORMATION. To go on this move. (Being close to shopping and the hospital is a must) I might get a second job at a clothing store. I also want to go to school eventually for Fashon Merchandising.. So I need to be close to a school that has Fashion merchandising. (We dont want to stay extremely high in the air.) Please help. Thanks!!
May consider moving to Brooklyn too!!

Brooklyn is part of NYC. (as are the Bronx and Queens).
On two LPN salaries, you are going to be living either in one of those three mentioned boroughs, or possibly Harlem/Washington Heights in Manhattan.
I would suggest that you try to find a job first, and then select a place to live based on where your job is, and then decide about selling the car based on where you're living and working (but most likely, it will make more sense economically to ditch the car and get around by train and bus). It also sounds like you are not very familiar with the City, so come visit before you move! and focus on walking around residential areas contemplating whether you'd feel comfortable living in them (not on shopping). you can browse apartment listings on newyork.craigslist.org for a sense of what you can afford. and i do not work in healthcare so i can't give you very specific job hunt advice, but there are lots of hospitals in the Bronx (which is also a relatively cheap place to live) so that might be a good starting point. you could try to be close to the Fashion Institute of Technology, but that part of town is very expensive, so you'd likely end up 30+ minutes away in Brooklyn anyway.

Don't bring a car because you will have to rent a place to park it, and that will cost as much as a modest apartment which by the way aren't cheap either.
Try to sub-let from someone who has a rent controlled apartment if you can.

If you don't have a lot of money, your best bet (if you absolutely must move here) would be to move to an outer borough, in a less than glamorous neighborhood. It's going to be tough.
