I'm sorry if this is annoying question, but I've been having trouble finding the answer with my own research, and I think this is one of those situations where asking for personal experiences might be the most reliable. I know Jersey City is a definite option but I'd like to broaden my search a little.
I'm moving to NYC (either Brooklyn or Queens) this summer as a new graduate nurse and may commute to NJ for work. I'm not familiar with NJ at all and was wondering if anyone had any outside experience with which cities you can commute to (and get around in) via public transit and which you can't. I do have a car but would like to avoid driving to work if possible because of the hours I'll likely be working. Just hoping for any input I can--thanks yall, I appreciate it :)

Why would you move to Brooklyn or Queens if you are looking for a job in NJ? That is an absolutely horrible commute. Find the job first and then decide where to live. Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark are the cities with the most abundant public transit.
