Answer
I would definitely reconsider breastfeeding your baby as it is not only good for your baby, but for your health. Breastfeeding decreases your risk of cervical and breast cancers. I would try and breastfeed. After a couple of times, if it doesn't work for you, then breastfeeding just wasn't meant to be.
Expect to change your baby's diaper around 20 times a day when they are first born. That means you will go through around 30 X 20= 600 diapers a month! I hope you have a lot of diapers stocked up. Don't open the boxes that you won't use right away- you can return them if your baby grows and doesn't fit them anymore.
Did you say that you do not have a car seat? You don't have to get an infant car seat for an newborn. Another option besides infant seats are convertible car seats. You can use a convertible car seat for a newborn provided that the harness is adjusted at or slightly below your baby's shoulders (when rear facing, the harness needs to be adjusted at or below the child's shoulders). The Cosco Scenera is an affordable convertible car seat that goes up to 35 lbs in the rear facing position and has low slots for the harness so that it is likely that it will fit your baby well. It costs around $40 at Walmart. Most babies outgrow their infant car seats with as little as 6 months of use to as much as a 1 year of use, so buying a convertible car seat would be the best option. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that kids ride rear facing as close to age 4 as possible. They recommend this do to the reasons below:

Most parents don't use the diaper changing station like how they planned. Trust me :)
I always found that it is much less stressful to change a baby on the floor. You don't have to worry about the baby rolling over or falling. Everyone in my family ended up changing their baby on the floor (but this is just my family).
Always buy baby clothes a couple of sizes bigger than what your baby is- your baby will outgrow these rather quickly. This means skip newborn clothes- get 3 month sizes and even a couple sizes bigger than that. (I believe the sizes start at newborn and then skips to 3 months).
Remember that babies just love being loved and cuddled. You can never give your child too much attention.

At what age should a newborn begin sleeping in the nursery?

My daughter is 8 days old and has been sleeping in a bassinet beside our bed. How long should she sleep in the bassinet in the master bedroom before she can begin to sleep in the nursery? In case it matters, the nursery is across the hall from the master bedroom on the second floor of my house and we have baby monitoring video/audio equipment and we have the pads that prevent her from rolling over onto her stomach.
Answer
The people who are answering (so far) are giving you their opinions. But the AAP safe sleep guidelines (SIDS prevention) recommend that a baby be in the parents' room for 6 months or more. This is so that she can monitor your (more mature) sleep patterns. It as nothing to do with 'safety equipment" which can not substitute for a parents' presence.
