I worked at Baylor Scott and White and would not recommend for new grads.

I personally lived close enough so I could use those Bike bikes, I paid 15 dollars a month for unlimited 30 minute rides so if you live close enough, I would highly recommend that. There is a parking garage at WaterFront plaza and I know it can be pricey if you don't follow the "algorithm" to avoid it. A lot of my friends drove so this is what they did. Most of the food shops and the bar in the center of the plaza offer validation. I think it would validate for a certain amount of time so maybe at the most you would have to pay like 5-10 dollars. I apologize it has been a while so my memory is a bit foggy of it, but I know if you are smart with validation and knowing which places offer more time for validation (would highly recommend grabbing a drink or food at the bar in the middle of the plaza because they have the most time for validation), you can save money. On another note, there are a few parking garages within the area that offered parking spots for like 100-200 dollars a month, pricey but honestly if you're driving from far away or are often late, it can reassuring to know you have a spot and its taken care of. let me know if you have any more questions!

Talk with the interviewer for their input!

Im not sure how you are using all of your study resources but I really think if anything, you should focus on one. I used UWorld and I did ALL of the questions probably 4 times over. I would suggest going through all of them first and answering all of the honestly, no matter how many you get wrong. This way, you eliminate the time spent on your right answers and can focus on the ones you got wrong. The second time, I just went through the wrong answers again but wrote it down on a piece of paper the rationale. Writing it out helps for better memorization and I could also read back through it at a later time and I could carry the piece of paper with me wherever I was going. Eventually as you continue to cut back on your wrong answers, you'll notice that more information will stick.

Hey guys, I graduated from HPU 2019, let me know if you guys want advice for professors and the school in general! HPU is disorganized and I survived so let me know

I graduated class of 2019. Would be more than happy to provide you with any advice for professors. Expensive school, surprisingly has gotten harder to get in too. We used ATI which does not help for NCLEX, I paid for UWorld and passed on first time.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has gone through a new grad simulation as a part of their new grad program. I got a job on a neuro floor (it will be my first job) and a part of the training is to do simulation. Has anyone done any new grad simulation and if so, what was that experience like?

Hi Alicia, I went to HPU and would be happy to help. I am a little confused, have you taken the pre-requisites for the nursing program already? You might have been accepted to the pre-nursing because you were missing some classes.

I used to live in Oahu and your best bet is to become a CNA or volunteer at your hospital of choosing. I had a few friends who went through the nursing program there and had paid to get professional resumes done and some of them were able to land jobs. I also have a friend who works as a home health nurse but is not making nearly as much as they could. Best bet is to apply but prepare to spend at least a year of CNA/volunteer work.

Though I am relatively new, I finished my nursing degree in Hawaii and it can be nearly impossible to get job without 2-3 years experience. I know that with the COVID, it is now even more difficult. Worth it to at least submit an application, but they are very picky.
