Anybody Lpns or RNS travel to Hawaii

Published

I am currently on my first assignment in New Hampshire. Its freezing and snowy here and I am looking to go somewhere hot next. I have been offered an assignment in Hawaii and I really want to go. I'm a little nervous because I will be by myself, but not so nervous that I wont go. I'm just curious about how it is to actually live there and work as a nurse. Has anyone ever been on assignment in Hawaii and if so, How has it been?

My friend is in Hawaii and loves it. She took company housing which is ten minutes away from the hospital, Queens Medical. She says public transpiration is good and the food is wonderful. This is her second week there so I haven't heard an update on how the job is.

What agency is your friend with that staffed Queens? My agency says they only staff hospitals in Maui and Hilo and only when they have opportunities in Hawaii.

Oh ok great. The company that offered to me was Medical staffing solutions and core medical. I'm leaning towards Medical staffing because they offer paid travel, rental and housing plus a good pay rate. I see a lot of hawaii jobs in Hilo and honolulu

I worked in Maui for 3 months over the summer through core med and they did not pay my housing. I changed companies after that assignment obviously but I enjoyed working there very much! It was crazy expensive and I didn't make any money but it felt like a paid vacation. I would go back in a heartbeat if I didn't have my pets since you can't bring them with you.

Girl I work for Core now and the way they do housing sucks so I'm definitely NOT going all the way to Hawaii with them. Were the people nice? Another traveler I work with said that Maui was boring. I get offers for Hilo and Honolulu a lot. It seems to be ALOT of Hawaii jobs out there. The pay isn't all that but it is a paid vacation and if you get a company that pays for everything that's a plus.

I loved Maui because it was a slow pace with relatively low tourist life (especially upcountry where I lived). It was just picture perfect every day and Maui has the most public beaches than the other islands so I went to a new beach or snorkel spot almost every time for 3 months! Another traveler from the same company left her contract early she hated it so much though, I didn't understand why! I'm trying to go back!

I went to Honolulu to get my license and stayed for the weekend. It was still paradise but i was REAL touristy and crowded. I don't think I'd like it there compared to Big Island or Maui.
