Hi Allnurses

My family will be relocating to Hawaii in 1.5 month.  Throughout the years, the Hawaiian forum has highlighted the poor job market that exists. Also, the Allnurses (AN) Hawaiian forum is not as active as others,  hence my post in different sections, with hopes of getting responses.

I hold a BSN with 3 years experience, all in acute rehab. I've been at my current facility for 1 year and 11 months and often floated to the tele/ med-surg unit. I have no tele certification, but considering getting my ACLS although I've had it with bedside nursing. 

I am really interested in getting into chronic dialysis, but have been unsuccessful after submitting both online and in-person applications in the South Florida region.  I do know that geography is a big factor, since other areas welcome new grads to the specialty.  Now that I will be moving to Hawaii, I would like to know;  what is their dialysis market like and how do I increase my chances of getting in? From research, I've only seen one acute rehab hospital there, although I'm just over bedside nursing.  Realistically, what jobs am I likely to get in this tight Hawaiian job market? Thanks

    I know that they have in the past used a lot of travel people, so you may be able to find a job in that market.  I wish you luck over there!!

    I would think it would be a great place to do dialysis. So many Asian Pacific Islanders are diabetic and have hypertension and need dialysis. I would check the "big two" websites (Fresenius and Davita) for postings. Also there IS hospital dialysis, too, don't forget.

    Well, I don't know what the current job market is in hawaii but, seems pretty easy to find out. Seems like you aren't moving strictly for nursing (navy spouse? ?). If that's the case, just move and check it out when you get there. As a travel nurse, the high demand states are pretty well stocked with labor which could be the issue you are seeing. Plenty of stuff in crappy parts of many states.
