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 pass.

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 clarify?

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 majoring in English). And while I feel sadness for...

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 of thread. I do welcome visitors, I really do. ...

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 middle of the ocean. And for us "locals" who live...

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

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 here, through a friend of a friend. Do you alread...

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

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 nursing department.

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 will be easier. I can tell you that out of 64 s...

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 still need to work hard at those grades, but if you ...

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

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. Even if you are an A student now, you will have ...

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 patients.

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 it, they speak the truth. Sorry to disappoint you...

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 to get in their health clearances get to choose the...

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 person has complained (instructors or hospital emplo...

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 I did horribly. When I got my score, I discovered...

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

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 the patient felt he was treated disrespectfully bas...

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

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 ward clerks at places like Queens to get their fo...

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 they have no voice. someone "tolerates" a roommate...

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, simple.

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 now, with the roadwork on Fort Weaver Road. Good l...
