(side note, please use "Hawaiian" only to refer to the native people and the culture ie food dance language etc. not just anything pertaining to Hawai'I. but anyways) Jobs are definitely available for you! The job market is tight for those who lack experience but you have experience under your belt already which will help you a lot in applications. I know there are dialysis clinics hiring, you just have to inquire. And if a position isn't available RN, at least you can get hired elsewhere while you wait for a position to open up. Best of luck to you

I want to say that's on the lower end. Of course, that also depends on which hospital and specialty you're in. I have aunties with less than 10 years experience earning around $60/hr, and I'd imagine their starting rates weren't too far from what they're making now. If that's within the Queens system or Hawai'I Pacific Health system, I'd definitely expect higher pay especially since you do have some kind of experience.

@Kirsty Watt Best of of luck at HPU! You seem like a very driven person and I'm sure you'll do great there

I got in?

@kikiryryxforever so sorry to hear ? please stay persistent! you have amazing stats and I definitely see the potential for you to get in

@Kirsty Watt WOW! I appreciate you so much! so so so great to hear. Good luck to everyone!

@hooyahgetitin That's the spirit! I have faith that they'll work everything out and that next semester is on. We got this!

I feel like they'll work things out. I was looking at threads of other current nursing school application cycles throughout the mainland and I only found one other program going through this but they ended up sorting things out too. Other programs have switched to online and other alternative clinicals which sounds kind of weird but then I was thinking... they obviously can't just implement these alternative clinicals if it wasn't approved by the school, accrediting agency, and state board of nursing... right? And if that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem for kcc to implement it too so the current students can also get their hours. I'm not certain but it just makes sense.

WOW! that sucks. Thanks for letting us know. Hopefully everything works out and everyone can keep moving forward?

girl me too!! this wait got me so anxious and nervous it's all I can think about );

I read from the other threads that they came as early as March 22 to as late as April 7 so I guess anytime in between. but I'm so anxious I want it now! lmao

Don't be discouraged!! You have a good teas score so maybe if you just retake those C's you can really increase your chances. Unfortunately, they don't take other degrees and letters of recommendation into consideration but it's good that you have the work experience because that's considered. One option you can look into is UH's graduate entry nursing program. Not sure how competitive it is but I'd think it's way less competitive than these traditional tracks. Good luck to you!

Thank you!! The minimum score for TEAS is still 78% according to the application

Hey! this will be my first time applying also. My stats are... Prereqs: all As Coreqs: all As Experience: CNA certification but no work experience TEAS: 90.7% Best of luck to everyone applying! There's one little kink that might affect my eligibility /: but I'm hoping to sort it out by the time applications are due
