First of all, im a new grad..
Is it really hard to find a job for RN?
I know its hard to find one in hospitals because they're looking for experienced nurses.
But how bout facilities? like for example hale makua, or Roselani place:respite care or
something like that, is it hard too?
all i want is a job..
pls help, i really need your opinions..
thanks in advance.

read this forum. read posts for the last 18 months. the answer is already here. you just don't want to believe it.
it's been my experience, my own personal experience, that men don't really want advice. if i say, "don't do it," they're not gonna listen. if i say, "it's not a good idea, you're gonna hurt yourself," they 're going to go ahead and do it anyway. and get hurt, and feel pain, and... usually blame someone else.
it's not really hard for a new grad rn to find a job in maui. it's not really hard at all. it's ****ing impossible! you wrote, "all i want is a job." my response: i believe wal-mart and mcdonald's are hiring.
remember when you were young? and you touched that hot stove? and burned yourself? and cried? well, you learned! pain is a wonderful teacher! you wrote that you plan to move here in a month or two. you'll feel pain, and you'll learn.

I believe if you review the BB and the Hawaii forum, you will find the answers to your questions.
Like many people, you may not like those answers and you may not accept those answers.....that is up to you.
But the information is there.
yup i actually read them, idk if i missed them or something, but i believe
what i've read are all about hospitals. i'm specifically looking for facilities or assisted living or something like that. well, probably the same case as hospitals but i dont know that for sure thats why im asking..
well thank you anyways, appreciate it.
its definitely an eyeopener
btw, i got a place to stay there, for free.
i got a ton of relatives there who are willing to help me.
so,, idk...

I have 5 yrs experience...relocated from Cali...worked Tele and Peds.. and thought that would help but truth is..they're just not hiring right now. Especially just these past few weeks Hawaii jobs and pay are getting cut because of the furloughs. In fact I finally got an interview today after harassing HR for months. HR for the hospitals is another story...expect to wait WEEKS/MONTHS to even hear back. My advice would be to stay in Cali where there are TONS of jobs waiting for new grads. Everytime I showed interest in a hospital in Cali, they couldn't wait to give me an interview..basically throwing the job at ya..NOT here. Good luck to you..LOL..good luck to us both!
