It's a little in the weeds to explain, but I'm about to become an RN and will be licensed in Texas. Texas nursing licenses transfer automatically to NJ and 27 other US states, but NY is not one of them. I can become a nurse in NYC by attaining residency, which will take a year. Most NYC hospitals won't even consider applications from out of state new nurses.
I plan on working in NYC long term and my BF's job is in NYC, but for my first year or so I think it makes the most sense to commute.

12 hour shift at hospital + sleep but I'll definitely tell my patients i need to respond to some reddit comments and they'll have to wait next time.

I'm doing a nursing residency and my license will transfer to NJ immediately but not to NYC. I'm planning on completing my residency and applying for a license by endorsement down the road. Thanks for the advice, that's helpful.

My Google maps route planning absolutely did not say that, it seemed very doable, like 30 minutes each way, hence why I asked for advice here
