1. Looking for an updated (realistic) budget for HNL

   petunia2016 replied to tiezto's topic in Hawaii

   I was told one of the hospitals (not quite in downtown) runs at about seventy a month for parking. If you work at the same place you might be able to share a parking pass.

   also: eth-no-cen-trism -noun1. sociology. the belief in the inherent superiority of one's own ethnic group or culture. i don't believe anyone here is being ethnocentric. could you please clarify?

3. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in Hawaii

   Don't have too much time to reply, as I should be getting off to bed. But yes, I have read about many of the injustices done to many different people across the globe (while toying with the idea of majoring in English). And while I feel sadness for...

4. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in Hawaii

   It was to JessicaDawn. Don't mind me, I have Hawaiian Studies this semester and I think I've developed some [righteous] anger over certain... injustices. But I don't want to turn this into THAT kind of thread. I do welcome visitors, I really do. ...

5. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in Hawaii

   I'm born and raised in Hawaii, and I think you're attacking people for all the wrong reasons. It is very different here in Hawaii. I mean, as you kept repeating, we do live on a small island in the middle of the ocean. And for us "locals" who live...

   And don't forget the cost of parking if you do have a job downtown.

7. Looking for an updated (realistic) budget for HNL

   petunia2016 replied to tiezto's topic in Hawaii

   Do you already have a place to live? Rent in town is pretty expensive. Although my sister did find a teeny tiny one bedroom (more like a studio, with no kitchen) for a thousand when she first moved here, through a friend of a friend. Do you alread...

   I'm about to turn 29. I guess it's a downhill road for me from here on out.

9. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

   petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in Hawaii

   My semester has 60 students, which is more than previous semesters. I'm not sure how many openings there are for fall 2010. I would suggest calling and asking Tiana, Chetana, or Michael in the nursing department.

10. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

    petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in Hawaii

    I honestly don't think missing Chem 152 will make a difference. Well, it didn't in our first semester. Yes, nursing school is very difficult, but I know the curriculum will be changing, so maybe it will be easier. I can tell you that out of 64 s...

11. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

    petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in Hawaii

    You don't need a 4.0 GPA to get in to Manoa. Manoa is actually a little less competitive now, since there are more available seats than in previous years due to VA monies. Don't get me wrong, you still need to work hard at those grades, but if you ...

    You did great! I wouldn't worry about your NLN score.

13. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

    petunia2016 replied to P-LuDe's topic in Hawaii

    Hi, I'm a fall '09 student as well. We did have an essay due at orientation, but it was no big deal, just about why you decided to go into nursing. First semester is VERY HARD, I'm not going to lie. Even if you are an A student now, you will have ...

14. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

    petunia2016 replied to P-LuDe's topic in Hawaii

    Halawa is awesome. The parking is terrible at Queens. Other than that, the sites and people are all pleasant.... the staff are anyway. Sometimes you will get not-so-pleasant patients.

15. Are there any jobs for a nurse in Hawaii?

    petunia2016 replied to achiocRN's topic in Hawaii

    You know what they say about putting all your eggs in one basket. You can hope all you want, good luck with that. Hope won't find you a job here. Nobody here is being negative just for the hell of it, they speak the truth. Sorry to disappoint you...
