It is perfect for those drawn to the hustle and bustle of the main attractions, like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Yankee Stadium and Times Square. Plus, it works for those who prefer the quaint charm of a wide variety of shopping boutiques, restaurants, museums and Broadway shows. There is certainly never a dull moment in New York City.

Need Advice About Degrees
I am 33 years old looking to go back to school for nursing. Part of me wants to just go for an ADN and get it over with, while the other part of me says that going for a BSN will serve me better in the long run. Finances are not an issue. My husband has a good job and we can get by on his pay for the four years it will take me to get a BSN. I realize that there are good nurses with ADN and I am not looking to debate wether a BSN nurse is better/worse than an ADN nurse. My question is...if I can realistically wait four years to be licensed and my finances don't dictate that I get a degree quickly so I can go to work, is it better for me to invest the extra time and money into getting my BSN now? Is a BSN really the future of nursing?
Thank you.
