    Wb808 replied to ssczesny's topic in General Nursing

  2. Honolulu, Hawaii new grad job

    Wb808 replied to NurseO_8's topic in General Nursing

    I think the job market actually can, but not the acute care job market. If you aren't looking for acute care, plenty of

  3. Honolulu, Hawaii new grad job

    Wb808 replied to NurseO_8's topic in General Nursing

    Only 2 hospitals, maybe 3, are doing new grads. Of those 3, 2 of them hire less than 10 new grads per 6 month cycle. With 3 nursing schools just on Oahu, it is

  4. Nicu/ prior military- my options in hi

    Wb808 replied to nicurn86's topic in General Nursing

    Kapiolani is the ONLY NICU open to the public here on Oahu. Tripler has a NICU but its military only. As far as Hawaii being open to other cultures, people here are to some degree. I think it's more...

  5. Honolulu, Hawaii new grad job

    Wb808 replied to NurseO_8's topic in General Nursing

    Don't recommend it at all. Tons of new grads haven't found jobs in acute care and are working as Aids/clerks just to have the opportunity to be considered for the position (noticed I said...

  6. Straub Nursing Pay

    Wb808 replied to salvati08's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm if you are looking for clinical floor jobs at the hospitals, I don't think the MSN is going to do that much for you. My experience has been that nurses with higher education levels are treated no...

  8. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    Wb808 replied to MedSurgRN193's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Stop thinking about it. Seriously. You are over thinking every little thing and it isn't necessary. 'Analysis Paralysis'. What you need is: 1) Sleep 2) good diet 3) exercise maniac highs and...

  9. Straub Nursing Pay

    Wb808 replied to salvati08's topic in General Nursing

    Both places pay low $50s for 2yrs+ experienced RNs. As for all the other stuff you listed like MSN and what not no clue. I've never had the impression that MSN gets paid more if you are doing acute...

  11. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

  12. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

    Called up KCC office and was told they mailed all letters out last Thursday and I should have received mine already. Crazy. Asked them to verify if my application was received and they took down my...

  15. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I'm pretty shocked that curlie didn't get in. I mean ALL A's and only ONE B and healthcare experience? I mean did everyone score in the 80s and 90s for the teas test? I would have thought that...

  18. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

    What side of the island do you live on? My po box is in Aiea and it wasn't there and my home address is Kapolei and it's not there either. Weird how you got yours so soon! I'm going to retake some...

  21. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

    I really wonder what KCC is going to do in the future about having more spots with the trouble it seems they have with professors. Hard to get nurses to take a pay cut to teach. The LCC facility is so...

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing

  24. KCC ADN FALL 2015

    Wb808 replied to Bpacis's topic in General Nursing
