Ever been here?

Has anyone ever lived in or been to Ewa Beach on Oahu? I'm thinking of taking a job at Hawaii Medical Center-West (formerly St. Francis). Just want to hear any info about the area. Is it safe? Is there surfing close by? Any info would be appreciated! Mahalo

I would avoid both of the hospitals-formerly-known-as-St. Francis for a while.

They have fired most of their ancillary staff. I know many of the nurses who work at Liliha and they say the place is a mess. And West has always been worse than Liliha.

Is it easy to get around in Ewa Beach? I don't have a car.
