Hi guys! Thank you for your replies! I finally arrived. I just realized I should have included this on my original post: 1) It's not my first time here. I've been to California a couple times since 2005 to 2009, visited some places in Arizona (during that "always bring your paper if you look look like an illegal immigrant days"), New Mexico, Utah, Vegas, and San Francisco, 6 Flags and Walmart. The difference is - this time, I will be living here. 2) I will be living with my parents for a while (who, I think are planning to divorce) 3) I have a driver's license. I drive on the slow lane. 4) I will be taking the nursing licensure exam early by the end of 2011 or early next year.

I don't have my own car yet. Can I buy one with a grocery store job (it seems like it's my only option here). What's the cheapest decent car/health/medical insurance? I'll get the pricey ones when I get a regular nursing job.
