New grad RRT from CA considering making the move to NOLA!

• Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm currently in SoCal and considering relocating to New Orleans for a potential Respiratory Therapist position with Ochsner Health. I'd be moving on my own, so it's a pretty big decision!

I'd love to hear from anyone who works at Ochsner, especially RTs. What's the work environment, staffing, pay, and support for new grads like?

I'm also curious about life in NOLA..

  • Safety: What neighborhoods would you recommend?
  • Living alone: Do you feel comfortable living alone?
  • Community: How easy is it to make friends and build a social circle?
  • Cost of living: Is an RT salary enough to live comfortably?
  • Relocation: For those who moved there alone, are you happy you did?

I'm looking for honest perspectives, both good and bad, from locals and healthcare workers. If you'd prefer not to share your experience publicly, please feel free to PM me! I'd really appreciate any advice.

Saints fans, I need your help! ⚜️🖤💛 I'm hoping to surprise my boyfriend with tickets to a New Orleans Saints game.

Any tips on the best games, seats, or special experiences for a first-time Saints game? I'd appreciate any advice! Who Dat! 🏈

Moving there in a few months [by Amtrak]

10 Upvotes

Okay, so I am planning on moving down via Amtrak. I don't have anyone to help with logistics, so I am just asking here for some guidance. I also don't have that much experience moving within the US, especially without a car, so bare with me.

  1. Belongings-wise I mostly plan to bring clothes, kitchen items, various personal items, and most likely an air mattress. I don't think I'll be able to carry all my items on the train by myself.

I was planning on using a service like FedEx Ground to do a door-to-door delivery from my current place to my new one. I estimate I will need to ship 3 of these bags at most.

^ What is the most cost-effective way to transport these items? Am I on the right track?

  1. How reliable is Uber in New Orleans? Since I will arrive at the Amtrak station, how do people rank the safety and reliability of ubers at that location/ in New Orleans in general?

  2. Where do y'all buy affordable/used (also clean) furniture?

  3. I will not have a car for the first few weeks. But I would like to buy a car and have it shipped to my apartment. Has anyone done this before? I realize I would need to get insurance and change my Illinois license to Louisiana... how do I do this?

Thank you for helping a very overwhelmed person out!

NOLA History Krewe of Clones K-Bees Mardi Gras Costume Information Request

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I am working on a research project about the cultural impact K&B had on the city. I understand this in an unusual request but I am seeking out information on Mardi Gras costumes worn by the Krewe of Clones. It was to honor K&B and they dressed as K-Bees, which involved them wearing atena, makeshift stringers and purple striped velvet tops. According to what I have found thus far it probably took place before 1997 but I’m not totally sure about that. Does anyone have any info or photos of this? If so please let me know. Thanks so much!
Also if there is a different subreddit I should post in can some please let me know.
Also if I need to take this down and repost on Tuesday pleas let me know and I will do so. I wasn’t sure if this counted as “Mardi Gras” as it’s more of a history question.
