Hi:I am a RN w/ little over one year experience interested in moving to Hawaii.Currently I work in a cardiac step-down at a large teaching hospital in NYC.Some of the hospitals here have hiring freezes due to economic conditions.As a consequent, these hospitals are only hiring internally.I was wondering if the same is occurring in Hawaii.Thanks

almostfree 12 Posts Jan 9, 2009 I am way out of touch (in more ways than one), but a friend was hired at Tripler Army Medical Center a few years ago. Not until she had one year of experience as an RN, however. Hopefully you hit the mark they are looking for. I would go to the Federal jobs website USAJOBS and set up a search agent for RNs, and/or "Registered Nurse". Let us know if it works! Here's the link again:https://my.usajobs.gov/login.aspx?redirect=https%3a%2f%2fmy.usajobs.gov%2fagents%2fmanagejobagents.aspxI had a great job there a few years back. I was hired by a local temp agency. One of the best jobs I ever had. Let me know if you need a local contact for them.Aloha.
