   I was told one of the hospitals (not quite in downtown) runs at about seventy a month for parking. If you work at the same place you might be able to share a parking

3. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

   Don't have too much time to reply, as I should be getting off to bed. But yes, I have read about many of the injustices done to many different people across the globe (while toying with the idea of...

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

   It was to JessicaDawn. Don't mind me, I have Hawaiian Studies this semester and I think I've developed some [righteous] anger over certain... injustices. But I don't want to turn this into THAT kind...

   petunia2016 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

   I'm born and raised in Hawaii, and I think you're attacking people for all the wrong reasons. It is very different here in Hawaii. I mean, as you kept repeating, we do live on a small island in the...

   And don't forget the cost of parking if you do have a job

   petunia2016 replied to tiezto's topic in General Nursing

   Do you already have a place to live? Rent in town is pretty expensive. Although my sister did find a teeny tiny one bedroom (more like a studio, with no kitchen) for a thousand when she first moved...

   I'm about to turn 29. I guess it's a downhill road for me from here on

9. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

   petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in General Nursing

   My semester has 60 students, which is more than previous semesters. I'm not sure how many openings there are for fall 2010. I would suggest calling and asking Tiana, Chetana, or Michael in the...

10. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

    petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't think missing Chem 152 will make a difference. Well, it didn't in our first semester. Yes, nursing school is very difficult, but I know the curriculum will be changing, so maybe it...

11. UH Manoa Fall 2010 Applicants

    petunia2016 replied to oreo29's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need a 4.0 GPA to get in to Manoa. Manoa is actually a little less competitive now, since there are more available seats than in previous years due to VA monies. Don't get me wrong, you...

    petunia2016 replied to P-LuDe's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm a fall '09 student as well. We did have an essay due at orientation, but it was no big deal, just about why you decided to go into nursing. First semester is VERY HARD, I'm not going to lie....

    petunia2016 replied to P-LuDe's topic in General Nursing

    Halawa is awesome. The parking is terrible at Queens. Other than that, the sites and people are all pleasant.... the staff are anyway. Sometimes you will get not-so-pleasant

15. Are there any jobs for a nurse in Hawaii?

    petunia2016 replied to achiocRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know what they say about putting all your eggs in one basket. You can hope all you want, good luck with that. Hope won't find you a job here. Nobody here is being negative just for the hell of...
