Location: Waimea (Kamuela), HI (Big Island) Role Highlights Critical Access Trauma: As a rural hospital, you will see everything from local ranch injuries to high-acuity medical emergencies and tourist-related trauma. High Autonomy: You must be able to work independently, often with limited immediate specialty backup compared to urban Honolulu hospitals. Organizational OHANA: Queen's is known for its high clinical standards and a supportive, community-focused culture. Staff travelers often report being warmly welcomed here. Mandatory Requirements Experience: Minimum 2 years of dedicated Emergency Department experience. Licensure: Current Hawaii State RN License. Note: Hawaii is NOT a compact state.

TNCC is highly preferred for this rural setting. Flexibility: You must be open to the "72-hour or 80-hour" pay period structures and all shift types. Life in Waimea: The Paniolo Town Waimea is a unique "green" part of the Big Island, sitting at a higher elevation with cooler, mistier weather than the coast. The "20-Minute" Rule: While not explicitly in this snippet, Queen's North Hawaii typically requires on-call staff to live within 20 minutes. Focus your housing search on Waimea town, Waikoloa Village, or Lalamilo. Stipend Power: Your $2,500 weekly stipend is massive. Even with Hawaii's high cost of living, you can secure a quality short-term rental ($3k–$4k/month) and still pocket over $6k in tax-free money monthly. Adventure: You are 15 minutes from the world-class beaches of the Kohala Coast and 15 minutes from the lush Waipio Valley. CloudinfraIT Inc Job ID 294476.
