As a manger here is what I look for: pants or skirt (wear nylons), no low cut shirts, do not wear all the bracelets, chains you own and no big earrings. Make up and hair rule #1, this is a day job, not out on the strip in Vegas. Make sure your nails are clean, trimmed and without polish. Arrive 15 min early for your interview, have a pen and resume (w/copies) in hand! Smile! ask how many patients do they see each day, ask one question related to the Doctors practice, and if not given a copy of your job description; ask if you can see the job description. If the interview is going well, ask who you would report to, who is their safety office for OSHA. Most of all be flexible! Good Luck

Aloha, I have been reading some of the other threads in response to yours. First relocating to hawaii is a life style change! It is expensive to live here, you have to get on a plane everytime you want to go somewhere, water and electricity are a premium! The trade off is lifestyle is easy, sun, and a beautiful warm ocean. Your children will adjust and some areas of the island of Oahu have great schools, good teachers, and good kids. But Yes there are rotten schools here, and sometimes racially motivated activity against some kids. Second: I personally think tripler or as someone called it Crippler is a good hospital. I have been there in a teaching roll. Some of the outpatient nurses are fantastic, esp. the Urology dept.. Every hospital has errors that have occured!! Yes the CO2 incident did occur, but what the other writer failed to tell you is that because there have been so many deployments Tripler started bringing back some retired "military" nurses that had not been in patient care situations for years. Medication errors occured. I know several travelers who have loved their assignments there but if your skills aren't strong yet never accept an assignment that would jepordize your nsg lic. hope this helps!
