    Don't mean to be a downer, but even 6 mos prolly won't be enough to get you a job as an RN in Hawaii. Checkout the Hawaii forums. The job market is currently terrible. New grads are moving to the...

    mcubed45 replied to TNTD2011's topic in General Nursing

    how many hpu credits does it take to be competitive? the information that admission is based on hpu credits comes directly from hpu's website. the only logical rationale for such a requirement is...

  8. HPU

    mcubed45 replied to TNTD2011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that's just a general acceptance letter to the school, not the actual nursing program. A bit misleading if they don't disclose what you'll need to actually start the nursing program...

  9. HPU

    mcubed45 replied to TNTD2011's topic in General Nursing

    Relocating is an option. Some places have new-grad specific programs like nurse residencies. It might be worth it depending on your situation. There was some talk about Hawaii starting a nurse...

    mcubed45 replied to KianaM's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked about 30hrs/wk throughout the program and have a near 4.0. No kids or other commitments though. Nursing school is a pretty huge time commitment put it's manageable. Outside of class time...

  16. Need help getting a job

    mcubed45 replied to KianaM's topic in General Nursing

    do you have any hospital work experience? if not, you probably can't be picky about what hospital you work at or what kind of work you do. even non-nursing & entry level positions are becoming...

    mcubed45 replied to Maliaia's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if that's a new change, but in the past the majority of admission was based on pre-req GPA, cumulative GPA, and NLN. Not impossible to get in with a terrible cGPA, just more challenging. I...

    cGPA is based on ALL your courses at UHM. The only way to raise it is to keep taking courses and getting A's. The way UHM calculates cGPA, there is not really any benefit to retaking courses unless it...
