Hi, I used to work at Queens. Worst hospital I've ever worked for, 3rd world medicine, poor staffing, poor patient care. I bought malpractice insurance for myself I was so scared I'd do harm from something completely out of my control. I broke my 18 ...

I am lucky enough to work at a hospital and in a community that values health and wellness. I am a Health Coach RN at our hospital system and serve all hospital campuses. The best part; I am the health coach for the EMPLOYEES, not the patients! I am ...

Interested in relocating back to my hometown of Bend. I have no nursing experience there and do not know the reputation of St Charles in Bend. Can anyone tell me of their experience working there, or someone you know? In particular, I'm wanting to kn...

Hi all - I'm a RN BSN with 3 yrs of experience solely in the emergency department. I'll be honest, I'm starting to get burnt out. My main passion lies in fitness and nutrition. To be honest, if I could go back and do things over, I would have found a...

Those are all great suggestions, Thank you!

Very unsafe nursing practices, dirty hospital, they run out of everything (namely clean blankets, iv supplies, etc. things that are NECESSARY to do your job or for the patient's comfort), horrendous management. I could go on and on, but would be too ...

Bump. It is now 2016! This thread has been dead for awhile. Is anyone actively working on the process to work/live in Australia? Would love to get an updated running dialogue of anyone working on this. Also, I would love to hear updates from people...

Been there, done that, HATED it. Switched to another department completely; hated that as well. Would never work there again, and wouldn't want to be a patient there, either. Took their relocation bonus when I moved out here from the mainland; couldn...

The hospital and specifically my department. Oahu is amazing!

Just want to throw in my 2 cents. Consider the possibility of not liking the workplace/work environment and you being locked in to a 18 month contract just because QMC offers a relocation bonus and HPH does not. I am in that unfortunate position righ...

Congrats. What area are you going to be working in?

Hello! I was recently hired at Queen's & will be moving from the mainland soon. Can anyone offer advice as to housing areas near the hospital? I'll be at the main Punchbowl campus. Also was wondering if anyone here might be willing to be a contac...

Just wanted to mention that I know Queen's does offer a relocation bonus if you sign the 18 month contract. Not sure about HPH.

Sure! I have my BSN. Most hospitals here require at least a BSN to be hired.

I heard back within a week of the phone interview. Good luck!

Hi there - it was all by phone!

I have 2.5 yrs experience in ER. I start the middle of November. Yes I'm looking for places near the hospital! Thanks for your response

Hi - Asante has 2 hospitals. Rogue Valley Medical Center in Medford (they are unionized) and Three Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass (they are not a union). I work in GP as a CNA and just graduated from nursing school and have been hired as a ...

Hi there, I am a nursing student in a BSN program with one year left. My goal is to work in the ED. But, I also have found I love mental health nursing. From what I gather, someone who enjoys the mental health/illness population is much-needed in the...

Summer 2011 I would love to experience a nursing externship. I am interested in critical care, specifically the ED. Does anyone have an recommendations? I live in Oregon and am willing to go anywhere for the right opportunity!

I am a nursing student that will be beginning my Junior year of nursing school next week through a BSN program. I am interested in working in the ED one day. I have not had much luck in my quest to observe in the ED this summer and cannot volunteer t...

Thanks all. Just got an email this morning that I am not an exact match for what they are looking for, even though I fit some of their qualifications. Oh well. Thanks for your encouraging replies.

Thanks for your kind words. Since I'm new to this...if it is on call, how much notice would I get? And what if I can't for some reason? I mean, how obligated am I to come in when called? I want to make sure I can dedicate 100% but being a nursing stu...

I ask this because I have mild scoliosis and have had chronic back pain since I was a child. Standing for any period of time absolutely kills me, so unfortuately I know I will be in pain wherever I work. But the OR is where I am interested in working...

Thanks for the quick replies! I'm excited to see all areas of nursing specialties but unfortunately nursing school really limits that. We work on the floor a lot and will only see ER, OR, ICU, etc. once in all 3 yrs of clinical experience. So it's ha...
