Good times ahead
am working in the ER tonight with the doc I work with on the side and it looks like things will realy start happening soon. The first urgent care office will be up and going in sept. We are all credentialed and just need to finish some construction, get ther supplies in and set up our charting system. Then he tells me tha tthey are looking into another office out in staten island that has about 6000 square feet of space
He scared me after rounds today telling me he needed to talk to me about some stuff, I thought there was a problem or something like that but its just that things are starting to look up.
I had been on the fence about sticking around for this since the cost of living in NY is so ridiculous. I am making good money on the side doing what I have been and was considering just banking it and taking off but now am glad I have stuck it out. We have a good staff in the first office and should be lot of fun to work there. Also the doc would prolly kill me if Ileft since he relies so heavily on me just being there and keeping things going so he can focus on al th ebusiness aspects of getting an office going.

The SI office now has me contemplating a move to joisey since it may be easier commuting. I wont be ready to pull the trigger for another 2 or 3 months so I iwll see where this all goes as well.

I have also considered leaving the state of NY after my retirement, but I need to have access to race tracks, shooting ranges and availability of good nightlife/places to eat. I couldn't move to the sticks, it would bore me to death. I have been keeping my eye on Phoenix, but that is a few more years off.
Glad to hear things are going well for ya.

Atleast out of NY everyone who has guns owns them legally In your spot it may be a bit tougher leaving before retirement. For me I would prefer a more suburban type setting. Some decent bars/restaurants but not a ton of people everywhere you go. Like Jimmy I do like LI for the living in the burbs aspect but its too expensvie and too much traffic to go anywhere.
I also want to be close to good tracks and good backroads to ride as well. its nice seeing other communities that are actualy motorcycle friendly.
