Living in Lakewood, NJ
Fast-growing Lakewood pairs exceptionally low property crime with post-shift walks around Lake Carasaljo and Pine Park. Because many local developments are strictly 55+, relocating nurses often target Westgate or commute from neighboring Brick Township. Plan around Route 9 traffic, but enjoy easy Jersey Shore access and BlueClaws games at ShoreTown Ballpark.

“The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe.”
Some shifts end with you crying in your car because it all catches up at once. That is allowed. Just say out loud, to someone you trust, that it was a bad one.
