But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderly.us\/blog\/travel-nursing-in-hawaii\/\">money<\/a> is involved.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not very hard to goad nurses into travel nursing in Hawaii. Therefore from a business perspective of supply and demand, travel nursing in Hawaii doesn&#8217;t come with high paying contracts. At least not typically. I\u2019m sure some specialties may be the exception. I have found that as I looked with many companies, numerous hospital contracts, and casual chatting with my travel nurse friends, that the average weekly take home to expect is around 1300-1500 USD weekly. This includes your stipend. Some things can change that total such as rental car, or company provided health insurance. But it\u2019s just an estimated figure for you to keep in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue of expenses quickly comes into play. I was initially discouraged about travel nursing in Hawaii due to how many negative comments I received from the travel c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ommunity warming of the horrors of \u201closing money by travel nursing in Hawaii.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have not lost money yet. And you won\u2019t either if you play smart.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average housing cost for a furnished, month-to-month place will cost at least $1000 and can range much higher if it\u2019s a studio and not just a room in someone\u2019s home. There are small guest houses on many properties called an \u201cOhana.\u201d Those are often rented out for those travel nursing in Hawaii. Craigslist is a more reliable platform in Hawaii, although you should still remain cautious of scammers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transportation on the island is necessary. On Maui, they have a public bus, but it\u2019s not like a large city. Not having a car will limit what you do in your free time. If your company does not provide a car, look for a cheaper deal with local car companies. They will be much cheaper than Enterprise or big-name companies; And much more flexible. The average rental car will cost you $450-500\/ month. For people staying longer than one contract, shipping your car, or an on-island purchase is common. Message me if you need a recommendation on Maui car rentals!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To live we must eat. And food costs\u00a0are higher in Hawaii. I would say they are comparable to L.A. and Bay Area for those familiar with California&#8217;s costs of living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Maui, Oahu, and Kauai, there is a Costco. Worth 100% of the membership if you do most of your shopping there. Also looking for produce at local farmers markets. If you are not careful, food costs will be where you overspend.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many great bars and restaurants in these vacation destinations. Set aside a budgeted amount of money and enjoy your time out. But once you\u2019ve spent your limit, stick to eating at home. By meal planning and packing my own meals for lunches. I\u2019ve managed to keep my food budget &lt;$200\/week. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pushing_Papers_Hawaii_license\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Pushing Papers:\u00a0Hawaii license.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hawaii is not a compact state and therefore you must apply for a license prior to travel nursing in Hawaii.\u00a0 I got my license over a year before I had my contract. I knew I wanted to be here and I wanted to be ready when the right contract came along. It is possible to obtain a temporary license by employer endorsement. Since I did not do that, I am unsure of all that entails but your recruiter and employer should know that process. Recently fingerprinting was added to the license by endorsement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to keep in mind that the Board of Nursing Office is located only in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. You will have to take a flight to Oahu if you need anything signed and you are working on another island. So save time and money, you should consider doing this on the initial trip out to the islands. A roundtrip flight island hopping is between $120-270 depending on the island. \u00a0Another issue to be aware of is the verification process can delay your licensing. For example, California takes 4-6 months to verify to Hawaii that you are in good standing with their board. This should not affect a temporary license but may be frustrating if you\u2019re waiting for a permanent license. Be sure to include the cost of the license in your contract to negotiate your company to pay for as much of it as they are able.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, pay attention to the expiration date of your certifications. Some of the classes are limited in Hawaii and you will have to fly to another island or the mainland to get re-certified. Be sure to include coverage of your certifications in your contract. I learned that the hard way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Familiarize yourself with the process of licensing before you decide to look for contracts.\u00a0Below is the link to the board of nursing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/cca.hawaii.gov\/pvl\/boards\/nursing\/application_publications\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/cca.hawaii.gov\/pvl\/boards\/nursing\/application_publications\/<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

Hawaiians are proud of their history and they wanted to remain their own kingdom. The rest of the states are still referred to as \u201cthe mainland.\u201d Read through this history so that you\u2019re prepared to be culturally respectful.

It\u2019s a great investment that is worth a lifetime. I\u2019ve already used my certification again internationally.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hikes are amazing and include sweeping island views, waterfalls or both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make friends on the islands with people who like to hike. Many hikes are not marked and best shown by someone who has been before. Stay smart and safe while hiking. Rainy conditions are known to leave hikers stranded or dead from flash floods.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick up a surfboard or stand up paddleboard. Travel nursing in Hawaii isn&#8217;t complete until you at least take a lesson. Rent or buy a snorkel. Once you pick up some skills and equipment.
