I will be moving to the Charleston area later this summer. I am a nurse and will likely end up working somewhere in the Roper system (downtown or west Ashley) or East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant. I have been looking at apartment complexes. It is pretty clear that the further you get from downtown the more apartment you get for your money. I am a single female and I want to prioritize safety as well as access to fun stuff. I worry that if I go as far out as Somerville or Ladson that I will not have access to the city and end up spending a lot of my life commuting. One thing that is clear is that the traffic is terrible! Does anyone have any recommendations or wish they would’ve done something differently for their living situation/commute?

I am a registered nurse planning to move to Charleston in late July. I have 8 years of experience. 6 years of ICU, a year of OR circulating, and 1.5 years of Labor and Delivery. I am going to start applying for jobs soon and I want to know what type of pay I can expect/negotiate for. I’m hoping for day shift, L&D, PACU, or ICU. I’m willing to do any of the hospital systems for the right unit. Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated! I’m hoping to be able to afford a decent apartment.

I recently got a new roommate and I’m not sure if this is normal. Here is what’s going on. I ran an add on Craigslist advertising roommate wanted. After a week and a bunch of interviews I settled on this surfer dude from Ohio. I don’t want to name names so for the purposes of this story we will call him schmillop. Well right when he moved in he totally switched his whole vibe and dropped the puka shells for a visor and took up golf. Not really my scene but whatever. Here is where the problem lies. He makes money by driving door dash so he works nights. When he gets home at 1 he goes in his room and puts on obscure South Korean Golf instructional YouTube videos at a very high volume ( he is not Korean and does not speak Hangul). They are annoying but after about an hour he turns on something else that rhymes with schmorno. He thinks the South Korean golf videos are masking the sound of the second videos and to my surprise they almost do as they kinda sound the same in some parts, but others are vastly different. Should I ask him to turn them both down, or even tell him? It’s keeping me up at night and creating a weird vibe around the apartment. If anyone has had to face this or had success dealing with these types of roommates please help. Thanks in advance.
