Hi annbananz: Yes, I have applied to Tripler with miliary spouse preferrence and to several jobs on USAjobs.gov (even LPN). I have not looked into Charts so I will def. do that, thank you. I also applied to 2 aide jobs (Tripler and Pali Momi since it is right next to where I live) and have not heard anything back yet. It seems everyone wants at least 1 year experience and I hope I get a break soon to get that year! Thanks again for your help and I will update if anything comes up!

I graduated and moved to HI in December (military wife) and am having bad luck as well with the job market here (already have license). I have applied to >30 jobs and have had one call back asking if I would take a $10/hr. aide job with a home healthcare company...but with a child I need something to at least cover childcare costs! I am feeling very down-and-out about ever finding a job and we have several more years here.

I also moved here in December after graduating with my BSN...we are stationed here with the military. I already have my HI license and have applied to >30 jobs and have had no call-backs. I have a great GPA and a 2nd Bachelors but still no hits. I know it is frustrating and please share any tips you come across for getting a job out here. Good luck! I did get one offer for a nurse aide with a home health company ($10/hr) but needed something that pays more due to childcare costs. I did hear that many new grad RN's are working as aides and clerks just to get a foot in the door somewhere.
