  1. Looking for an updated (realistic) budget for HNL

    petunia2016 replied to tiezto's topic in General Nursing

    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

    also: eth-no-cen-trism -noun1. sociology. the belief in the inherent superiority of one's own ethnic group or culture. i don't believe anyone here is being ethnocentric. could you please

  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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

  6. Looking for an updated (realistic) budget for HNL

    petunia2016 replied to tiezto's topic in General Nursing

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

  7. Looking for an updated (realistic) budget for HNL

    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...

  8. i hope i know when to hang up my stethoscope,

    petunia2016 replied to supernurse1230's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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 oreo29's topic in General Nursing

    You did great! I wouldn't worry about your NLN

  13. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

    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....

  14. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

    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...

  16. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

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

    Can't you have your mail forwarded? I sympathize, it is a long wait. I got my acceptance letter a month before the health clearances were due. I had to scramble, especially since the first people...

  17. Can nurses have piercings?

    petunia2016 replied to toninz's topic in General Students

    I was reading through all the posts, and came across this one. To contradict what other people have said, I have a nose piercing which I have worn to all of my clinicals this semester, and not one...

  18. NLN Exam Scores?

    petunia2016 replied to michellebelle808's topic in General Nursing

    The english and math parts weren't hard for me, but the science was a killer. There were questions on there that I couldn't answer, even with my pre-reqs under my belt. I left the test feeling like...

  19. Is it really hard for RN to find a job in Maui?

    petunia2016 replied to aqswdefr's topic in General Nursing

    this advice looks so familiar... do you recycle the same advice for the

  20. I was violated by a doctor

    petunia2016 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can understand why he used the term "violated", and I don't think he was sensationalizing his complaint at all. Yes, there are different meanings to the word, and not all of them apply here. But...

    petunia2016 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't understand how this is in reply to what i said. could you

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

    petunia2016 replied to achiocRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was told by a recent BSN grad from UH that only 5-6 students in his class of 50 have jobs as nurses. Of that, half left Hawaii to get a job. Apparently, many recent (licensed) grads are working as...

  23. I was violated by a doctor

    petunia2016 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    and "tolerance" isn't much better. someone "tolerates" an angry customer (or patient) at their job, because they need the income. someone "tolerates" being degraded by their boss because they feel...

  24. I was violated by a doctor

    petunia2016 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of the definitions of violated is "to treat irreverently or disrespectfully". It's pretty subjective. He can say he was violated because he feels violated,

  25. Any thoughts on Kahi Mohala?

    petunia2016 replied to robbhman's topic in General Nursing

    Someone else said the drive from Makiki to Ewa is half an hour, but I disagree. It might be a half hour at 1 in the morning, but most of the time it takes up to an hour or longer. Especially right...
