A degree in which major would lead to a more stable, always in demand, and higher earning job in the NYC metro area?
Personally, as the mother of a nursing student, I feel you shouldn’t go into nursing for the reasons above. They are nice side benefits to nursing (depending on the area) but it is definitely a high-stress field from the second you step on campus and get your gigantic anatomy and biochemistry books. You need to want to help people, with the added glory of body fluids, long shifts and wear and tear on yourself.
There is a nursing sub-forum here you might want to visit.
I don’t know enough about computer science to compare in a meaningful way, but I’d imagine you don’t get body fluids on you :))
Yes, agreed - on both ends. These are factors that can influence your decision of career and major, but they shouldn’t be the primary determining factor. The primary factor should be whether or not you like it.
There are TONS of well-paying, stable careers to be had in the NYC metro area, in lots of different fields. You don’t have to major in nursing or computer science to get most of them. Both of them can be great majors, but are you actually interested in being a nurse or a software developer/program manager in technology? (You don’t have to do that with a CS or a nursing major, but that’s what most people mean when they’re talking about high-paying stable careers with those majors.)
The OP is still active on CC, but I mainly wanted to answer @bearcatfan’s conjecture. I worked as an EMT before getting my CS degrees and no bodily fluids and no funny smells is a definitive advantage of working in IT over working in health care. 
Having a nursing degree opens many career opportunities down the road. I would go with nursing.
