  1. Hospital RN to Utilization Review ie Insurance Nurse

  2. Tripler Army Medical Center RN Pay

    The range for critical care/emergency was 34.50-36.50 with the low without medical. Still Brett low in comparison to what other area hospital RNs are making. Too low for me. The staff at NSR are nice, however. Good luck.
  3. Tripler Army Medical Center RN Pay

    RNs in Honolulu make from 45-lower 50s per hour. After speaking with NSR / Altos, I decided to stay at my current job which pays much better than what they offered.

    @NursePamela - Thanks for the info. I spoke to the people with NSR and I was not impressed. They told me the pay rate and how much medical insurance would cost for myself and my family. I did not return after hearing how low they pay, and how much...

  15. I am interested to see how many local nurses left Hawaii and moved to the mainland. Local nurses = born and raised in Hawaii, went to nursing school in Hawaii, or anyone who has spent a significant part of their life in Hawaii. When did you leave ...
