you pay for your nursing degree at HPU.

HPU accepts anyone. that's where my friends who are now nurses went to when they got rejected from UH.

hello! doesn't everyone get into the nursing program at hpu? lol.

well personally I would choose queens. it is a magnet hospital. queens has the most room for growth and the most resources. the parking seems like a little issue compared to the bigger picture. to be the best nurse you must place yourself in the best...

you got a travel assignment there?

yup. I work at queens. what unit do you work on?

reading through all your post about getting into nursing school kind of in a weird way makes me miss nursing school lol. its def hard work, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. the life of a real nurse is fun and worth every sleepless night. congrat...

I need advice from those who know. I recently got offered a job at queens and at straub. I am stuck. I don't know which one to accept. can anyone working at these hospitals let me know their thoughts etc. I need to make a decision. they are both for ...

hey! what position did you apply for that the manager just left?

are you willing to move to the big island?

well on the big island compared to Oahu the cost of living is less, rent is less so of course the pay is less. however, its still good compared to all the other jobs around. and I would think its the same for nursing on Oahu. higher pay, but the cost...

thank you! you are very helpful.

I actually did my new grad program back in 2011 on the big island and have stayed at the hospital until just now applying for queens. its a tough market out there. I had a hard time too. straub I believe has a new grad program as well as pali momi. y...

yeah I hear he the new grad program and they take a lot. I guess they like those already working in the queens system. are you working in Vegas? how is it getting a job there as a new grad? you could do what I did and work somewhere else until you ge...

really? I'm sorry that you feel this way. what nursing school are you graduating from? to be completely honest with you you'd probably need to work as an aide to get into the new head program at queens. I hear they have a new grad program every year,...

keep on calling and be persistent. once they see this they for sure have to listen to you.

hey there! I actually took a little longer. I graduated school in may and I took a little time off. I took the nclex in December. so it was more than four months. I guess the amount of time you need depends on the individual. I felt I needed a little...

yeah the hunt for that first job was very difficult so just take it wheverr it is. I did not have to work as an aid actually. I hear a lot have to though. I was lucky enough to get into a new graduate program at a smaller hospital on another island a...

thank you. I graduated nursing school in 2011. it was difficult at first to find a job. are you currently at queens?

I am a nurse that got offered a job at both places for medsurg. career wise I really don't know what I want to do. maybe ICU later. right now I like medsurg.
