Hey all! I am considering relocating from Honolulu to Portland and wanted some input on the hospitals there. Which of the local hospitals in the city pay the best and which would you recommend working at? Options are very limited here in Hawaii and ...

Thanks for replying! I initially worked neuro/telex back in Washington (didn't care for it) and moved here to Honolulu. Did two years in high acuity tele oncology and took an ICU class and have been in ICU since around October. Would be open to stayi...

Yah, it is expensive. I pay 1625 for a one bedroom condo in Waikiki - although I have a dog and my options are limited. Waikiki wasn't my first choice.

I got mine the day after the state verified my Washington license.

Don't let some of these people detract you. I moved to Honolulu from near Seattle in February and work at a major hospital here. They paid me a 5K relocation allowance and put me up in a 4 star hotel for 30 days in order for me to get housing. I sta...

Hey all - I am relocating to the islands and have had interviews at both HPH and QMC. I already have Hawaii licensure. When I look online for pay there is a large range that I have found. The Queens website doesn't show their pay but some have said...

Here is the bit... the HR rep at HPH (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF THOSE IN YOUR PROGRAM PER TOS) was effusively polite and pleasant. After I passed the competency exams she called me and let me know she forwarded my informat...

I accepted a position at QMC - they did offer the relocation as well as 30 days of housing. Pay is quite good, as well. Excited to start.

I sent my application with a check and they received it on 4 November and my license was activated 5 November.

HERE IS SOME ADVICE ... Worked for Axis for over a year at a local contracted facility. From day one, I had difficulty getting a hold of my recruiter, not receiving my schedule in a timely manner and getting a run-around from the office staff. To to...

Trust me - I thought I had failed. I had been up since four am, got to the testing center a half hour early, started the test, had a power outage .... I was SURE I had failed. Just goes to show that if you know it, you may do it subconsciously. I kn...

I've been working 12 hour night shifts on tele (Fr, Sat, Sun and an 8 every other Mo) and for four years. I really do enjoy this as it gives me more time off, more differential and away from management - which in my mind, is a plus. I try and avoid ...

I really don't know how to advise you on the test. I bought PearsonVue's study manual and studied at least 100 questions a day. Even if I didn't know the answer, I would study the rationale and memorize it. I was weak on L/D and ironically only got ...

Ok... here's the scoop. I took my NCLEX-PN on 8/6. During the test, the power went out. They were able to bring the test back up and I finished it at 85 questions. I know some have answered, but I am just curious why I don't even have my quick resu...

Just to update ya'll.... I found out I passed! Got my results early this morning and am waiting for the state to issue my LPN. It does work! I finished my NCLEX at 85 questions in 45 minutes (including a power outage.) Thought I bombed it!

I passed!!!!

I took the NCLEX-PN on 8/6 and ended with 85 questions. Had several SATA, 5 or 6 meds, and a lot of the "You went to a class on _____. Now you are teaching your coworkers about what you learned. SATA." Ugh. I still dont have my quick results. Im bugg...

In a way I wish I had taken something the night before my test. I took it on the 6th and was up by 4 in the morning, test at 11. I felt groggy as I walked out of the testing center. Still no results on my end.

See - mine wouldnt let me go to CC page before or after it said "successfully delivered." Right now it says that my results are on hold - so I am hoping that since it wouldnt let me go to the CC page beforehand, I passed. Any thoughts?

Just my luck. During my test the darn power went out! They had to reboot the computers but I started where I stopped. Wonder if this has anything to do with it.

Jeez.... mine still says "Youre results are not available at this time." at the bottom of the main page (and it says delivery successful.) When I try to register for another test, it gives me a pop up saying my results are on hold. Argh. Anyone else...

I just took my NCLEX-PN yesterday and found some of the pharm to be of drugs I HAD NEVER heard of. I've worked critical care/step down for six years and learned about many drugs but some of them I hadn't even seen before (on the test.) I will say, t...

How weird. I certainly don't have a DUI. :)

Bad - what does yours say?

Just wondering if my posts are visible. Can someone answer my question?! :) Goin a bit nutty here.
