the area and can fill me in. How would it be for a young woman. I am a R.N and am thinking of getting a poistion in a hospital there and srtarting over. Is it nice, poor, expensive, cheap?

Answer 1

depends on WHERE in the county.  Camden NJ, the city, is certainly not diverse. It has a very high crime rate. If you want experience in handling gunshot wounds and stabbings, any Hospital in Camden will certainly provide that. As for cost of living, depends on haw remote you locate away from the city. Unless you are street smart and able to defend yourself, the further you live away from Camden, the better.  The reason the  hospitals  there are recruiting far and wide is because of the high attrition rate of stressed out staff.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Camden the city is currently ranked The Most Violent City in America. The city is extremely ethnically diverse, but not a place you would want to live. There are great hospitals in Camden (Cooper, Our Lady of Lourdes), but most people don't living within the city, they live elsewhere in the county, and the closest next county (Gloucester County).

Depending on where you're moving from, the cost of living is pretty high.  

Answer 4

I don't know about Camden county but by all means stay away from the city of Camden. This is one the most dangerous city in America and probably the worst in NJ, and we all know how bad the inner-cities are in NJ. You have no business being in  Camden unless you're driving from NJ to Philly, work there or have a outstanding trusted friend/family member that live in the city.
