  • Moving here

    You would choose between compact Hightstown borough—about 6,000 people on 1.23 square miles with a historic downtown—and surrounding East Windsor, a township of about 30,500 across 15.57 square miles.

  • Moving here

    New Jersey is a compact-license state, so if you already hold a compact RN license you would not need a separate NJ license to practice.

  • Moving here

    People describe a calm, very quiet, safe small-town setting with a neighborly feel and Hightstown’s historic downtown for a stroll-and-dinner evening.

More about Meadow Lakes

A Facebook recruiting post has talked about a $2,000 sign-on for an RN unit manager role, weekend shift differential, and a referral bonus program. That post does not confirm the campus is this Hightstown community, so you should ask about those extras directly if they matter to you. If you relocated, you would pick between compact Hightstown borough—an independent historic downtown of about 6,000 people on 1.23 square miles—and surrounding East Windsor, a larger suburban township of about 30,500. You would need a car. People describe the area as calm, quiet, and safe, with a high cost of living and limited café and nightlife. New Jersey is a compact-license state and uses a graduated state income tax.

What to consider

The good

  • $50 an hour on the one posting on file
  • Hourly rate above nearby Carefinders Total Care at $35
  • New Jersey is a compact-license state
  • Calm, quiet, safe small-town setting with a neighborly feel
  • Hightstown historic downtown for a stroll-and-dinner evening
  • Central New Jersey roads toward New York, Philadelphia, and the Shore

The hard parts

  • High cost of living
  • Car-first daily life, limited transit, and commute times that can run longer than average
  • Limited café and nightlife; amenities often not walkable
  • Sign-on, weekend differential, and referral bonus come from a post that does not confirm this campus

What to weigh

You will need a car, and the cost of living is high—errands are spread out, transit is limited, and café and nightlife options are thin.

The reality check

Before you decide

Weighing a first job here?

The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
