Not meant to discourage you..I used to live in Arizona too and moved around a bit before coming to Hawaii. Absolutely love it but it's definitely not the same as mainland life. Unless you are single and don't have a lot of items to move over, you might want to try a short term assignment. Once the honeymoon phase of living on the island wears off you can better decide if it's a place you want to live long term.
I talk with a lot of the Nurse Registries in Hawaii, ie: Altres, NurseFinders, CareResource, Kulana Malama, and some home care service. They would prefer at least 6 months to 1 year experience.
Heads up guys: Tripler has new-grad. Check out USAjobs.gov. Also Kaiser will be hiring more since they have the new wing. All positions are call-in for now. Part-time and Full-time are only for current employee. Queen's will have a new grad in the summer. Check out their website. Hawaii Pacific Health will not be hiring any time soon. You must be a current employee to get a new-grad. Plus Straub is renovating 6th floor so experienced nurses are floating on the med-surg units for a year!
