  1. Anybody here works for a nurse agency in Hawaii?

    bellatrixrn replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in General Nursing

    If you have at least 1 year experience you have a lot more opportunities available through temp agencies. Otherwise you might have to take LPN pay for an RN

  2. Another RN moving to Hawaii needing advice

    bellatrixrn replied to Alaskanhills's topic in General Nursing

    Hilo Medical Center just downsized I believe so it's going to be

  3. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been out of school for two years now, and for a number of reasons didn't take my NCLEX until about a month ago. Amazingly enough, I passed! I was so excited to finally get that out of the way....

  4. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I checked Wikipedia after I asked the question and I definitely don't think I could live there (I'm from Hawaii). I spent 6 months in California and I froze my butt off there! That's with lows in...

  5. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why is North Dakota not a good place to live? What are the hospital ratios like? How's the pay? It's definitely not someplace I have on my list of places I'd want to live but I'm keeping my options...

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can't believe she gave up such a great opportunity! What I wouldn't give for that opportunity

  7. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Was that the one that gave up the new grad job to have elective surgery? I'm hoping the critical care tech experience helps a little (I'm great at interpreting EKGs), but I'm not

  8. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I actually prefer rural areas, so this works in my favor,

  9. "old" new grad

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I heard it's pretty terrible in California (and I actually prefer not to live there anyway, but it is the closest to Hawaii). However, I really don't think it can be worse than Hawaii, which...

  10. New Graduate Programs on Oahu

    bellatrixrn replied to Tamurasy's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Straub, Pali Momi, and Kapiolani (HPH) all have new grad programs. They also only hire in-house. Castle and Kaiser don't have new grad programs, but will sometimes train in-house new...

    bellatrixrn replied to surfnurse311's topic in General Nursing

    No, sorry. Although the nurse I spoke to that made that much was an ICU nurse, that might make a

  13. Queen's Job Fair

    bellatrixrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anybody know if the upcoming job fair for Queen's Medical Center will include any new grad programs? I checked online but didn't see any applications for new

  14. Queen's Job Fair

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse aide for one year and a critical care tech for one year as well. I'm still deciding if I even want to apply at Queen's (to double my chances at a new grad program). I probably will...

  15. Queen's Job Fair

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in General Nursing

    I already have a tech/aide position at another hospital, so I wanted to avoid working 2 jobs, although I probably will apply anyway. I thought maybe there would be more than what was online, since...

  16. My experience with NCLEX-RN

    bellatrixrn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated from nursing school TWO YEARS ago. I have worked in a hospital since then, first as a float pool nurse aide and most recently as a critical care tech on a telemetry unit. I have been...

  20. going pay rate in hawaii?

    bellatrixrn replied to surfnurse311's topic in General Nursing

    New grads start out at 36 where I work. Traveling nurses get 50+ and usually have living expenses paid for. Seasoned nurses can make 50+ as

  21. New Grad RN Jobs?

    bellatrixrn replied to akayne88's topic in General Nursing

    What everyone else said already is completely true. Most of the nurse aides I know are RNs waiting to get into new grad programs. If you're not willing to start at the bottom then I suggest not...

  22. Nursing programs?

    bellatrixrn replied to leanteodoro's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, it's going to be hard for you to get a job without a bachelor's degree here. Not impossible, but hard. There are people that have graduated years ago here still waiting to get RN...

    bellatrixrn replied to bellatrixrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/anyone-up-random-308584.html I found it somewhere in this fact-throwing thread. It's a good read and a nice break from doing

    bellatrixrn replied to MrMango's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh and I also did Saunder questions too (a classmate gave me her disc to download). The Saunders questions were harder in my opinion, but still great stuff. Both NCLEX 3500 and Saunders lets you...

    bellatrixrn replied to MrMango's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I paid for NCSBN and didn't really like it, but I've talked to others who have liked it. It is a cheaper option compared to Kaplan, but the content review is really just a basic outline. The...
