Does Masters degree help?

Hi there,

I am in nursing school in AZ - anticipated graduation 2011 with BSN. I also have a Masters degree In Public Health. I would like to work in trauma. I will be moving to Honolulu in 2012, so I will have 1 yr. of exp. I know this is a ways down the road, but I am a planner by nature! I was thinking of also applying for the summer internship at QMC for nurses between their first and second clinical years. Does anyone have experience with this program?

Also, given all that I have read recently, it seems difficult to secure a position. Will my masters degree help?

Thanks,

Marie

Also, I was thinking of buying a condo at Admiral Thomas and walking to work at Queens. Is this possible and does anyone know anything about what Admiral Thomas is like and/or the neighborhood?

I live in Scottsdale and I know all about high electricity bills! We stayed in a rental on the North Shore of Kauai last summer and I was shocked by the food bills.

Scottsdale is pretty expensive, too. It seems like overall the cost of living would be about 15% higher than what I am used to here. I am also hoping to save on things like only having one car and walking to work, etc. This would probably be offset, and then some, by going out to eat, however. The restaurants and food in Hawaii is amazing.

Do you feel like you have adapted your eating to what's available on the island? I hear there are farmer's markets, Costco which can help with the cost of food.

I did have a question about fashion. I mean it is a tropical urban environment which are really opposites in terms of fashion. What do women wear? Do people dress up some (like in Scottsdale) or are they super casual. I grew up in Wisconsin and people wear sweat pants and really casual stuff everywhere. Let's say you are going to the mall, do women (not girls) wear shorts, flip-flops or a casual dress?

Thanks so much for indulging my silly questions. I am just so excited and I want to know everything about Honolulu!
