    HI, i worked at Pali Momi telemetry floor in 2003 for about ten months. I really didnt like it as i found the patient ratio was usually 5-6 to 1 on day shifts and 6-7 to 1 on nights shifts. Their tele patients were really sick with alot of bipaps, and cardiac drips-something i wasnt used to. The unit is 35 beds and all single rooms and the whole unit is so big you wear a pager. and there is only three aids to help; i think the worst part was that the unit wasnt very nurse-friendly-you had to walk from one end of the unit to the other just to get rid of your dirty laundry-there was no laundry baskets in the rooms. The manager was very very nice and supportive though, the nurses were generally nice. lots of travellers. Hope this helps!

    Thank you so very much. You are correct in saying that the patients are very sick. Mahalo!

    Forgot to ask but were you a traveler while there? Wonder how it is being a traveler?

    HI, i wasnt a traveler at Pali Momi. Two of my friends were and one hated it and the other didnt find it so bad-she went back a few times. She is from the east coast and said that the patient ratios were just like back home! ha ha. I worked a couple years ago though so things may have changed.

    The pay rate was good about $32-34 and hour, of course that was for staff, i dont know about travelers.

    I have worked at previous tele floors where the patient to nurse ratio is 4 or 3 to 1. Six and seven sounds heavy especially if they are as sick as you have mentioned. Pay rate sounds good but I bet you had some hectic days. Alot has to do with the other staff members and being team players and how the charge nurse distributes the patients.

    No, I am not working there. Have not heard anything positive about it. Will look elsewhere. The work environment and patient safety is important. The nurse to patient ratio is too unsafe.
