    Has anyone ever lived in or been to Ewa Beach on Oahu? I'm thinking of taking a job at Hawaii Medical Center-West (formerly St. Francis). Just want to hear any info about the area. Is it safe? Is there surfing close by? Any info would be appreciated! Mahalo

    I would avoid both of the hospitals-formerly-known-as-St. Francis for a while.

    They have fired most of their ancillary staff. I know many of the nurses who work at Liliha and they say the place is a mess. And West has always been worse than Liliha.

    hi everybody!

    total newbie here--know nothing about the situation.

    would somebody consider giving me the reader's digest version of what's wrong with these hospitals?

    i'm just so curious...

    many thanks!
