Does anyone have any advice for a person living on their own for the first time

Does anyone have any advice for a person living on their own for the first time?
I will be moving into my very own apartment for the first time in May after I finish my nursing degree next month. I will be starting off working in a hospital making $60,000 a year and they are going to help me pay back my student loans. Since I am going to be a traveling nurse, to Spain, housing is free. Anyway, does anyone have any advice for someone living on their own for the first time? Does anyone have any stories of bad mistakes that they made that you want others to avoid? In particular, are there any mistakes that caused you to lose a lot of money or cost you a lot of unneccesary money and if you had known what you knew now you would not have made the mistake?

Even though housing is free you still need to put yourself on a budget you just never know...good luck!
2 :
Just save your money in case of an emergency. You never know what could come up. Have a plane ticket amount saved up for an emergency for whatever might arise back here. Congrats on your new job!!! You'll love Spain from What I've heard =-)
3 :
Don't buy anything you don't absolutely need to have. Necessities only. Be careful with anything else involving spending money. Save as much as you can. Don't gamble, or waste foolishly. If it's not something you'll love forever, don't buy it. Create a budget for yourself. It's up to you to decide how much you wanna save, too. Search for budget sheets online and work on it. There are things you probably can't avoid, but in those things, be more careful.

one thing you don't won't to do rush into a relationship . that will come in good time. don't let homeless people move in with you. and don't loan out money. good luck.
5 :
Iv'e been on my own since 8 years old.....ain't no big deal.....just use your common sense....youv'e got more than enough to survive on...goodness there are masses of homeless folk out there that survive in cardboard boxes,etc.....You have a secure job and regular income......you should have no problem at all.!
6 :
My suggestion to you, since its sounds like you will be able to save alot of money with no housing costs, if A) Get those student loans paid off as soon as possible. B) If you have a credit card, use it and pay off the bill every month to build up your credit. This will help you when you decide you want to purchase a car/home, and also with utility companies. C) Work is very important and sometimes (most times) its hard and frustrating. Remember to have some fun..OK? You only live once.

What do you know about New Orleans, LA

What do you know about New Orleans, LA?
We are looking for a family member that lived in New Orleans, LA. We have no clue if the address that was given for him was involved with the hurricane. It was on Spain Street? I was wondering if anyone could tell us if it was damaged in the Hurricane. Whether there were any businesses on Spain Street or if it was all residential. We wasn't sure if he lived alone or in a nursing home, thats why we were wondering. Also if you could recommend any sites that show missing people from the Hurricane or sites of places that were damaged. Thanks in advance.

Spain Street is near the lakefront area, so it is highly likely that it's part of the area that was heavily flooded. I believe Spain Street is mainly residential. Here are a couple of sites that help find missing people from Katrina; one is a local New Orleans forum: http://www.nola.com/forums/searching/ and another one is: www.katrinasafe.com. 80% of New Orleans was flooded during Katrina; I don't know if there are still any online sites that show the damaged areas; it would be a good part of the lakefront area and surrounding neighborhoods; the infamous Lower 9th Ward, Gentilly, and St. Bernard Parish, below New Orleans.

I think no they haves a 4 year training in all things but usually they go for subspecialities and during the duties she gain experience .ATS the nurse in Spain has 6 month training in nurse anesthetist after this training she can join for ICU , Anesthesia ,any place is routine in Spain you will be trained and you go to work where is place for you .
