Moving here
You would be based in Honolulu, where relocating nurses often look at Waikele in Central Oahu for more space and better value than closer neighborhoods like Kaimuki, Kahala, or Hawaii Kai.
Moving here
Waikele sits on the H-1 between Honolulu and Kapolei, which community posts treat as a practical commute corridor toward town hospitals.

More about working here

Travel nurses
Travel nurses headed to Queen’s have already been asking the community where to land for a short Honolulu stay, so you would not be the first person figuring out a temporary base.
Experienced nurses
Hawaii has a graduated state income tax, so your take-home math is not a flat-rate calculation.
Moving here
Honolulu living costs are described locally as roughly 222% above the national average, which is why inland options with larger homes and daily amenities come up so often.

The city

Living in Honolulu, HI

Honolulu pairs Pacific island beauty with urban convenience, where palm-lined streets meet hospital corridors. Waikiki's shoreline and Diamond Head's slopes frame a compact capital city. Nurses relocating here trade mainland commutes for ocean views, though island living brings unique logistics worth weighing.

Who they are

You would be looking at The Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, with our two postings both listing $51.32 an hour—min and max do not move off that number. That is the pay picture we can show you today; sign-on, housing stipend, and contract-length figures are not on file.

More about The Queen's Medical Center

Honolulu living costs are described locally as roughly 222% above the national average, so nurses relocating or coming in on a short stay often weigh inland Waikele for larger homes, outlets and daily amenities, and a central H-1 run toward town instead of paying closer-in prices in places like Kaimuki, Kahala, or Hawaii Kai. Hawaii uses a graduated state income tax, which shapes take-home differently than a flat-rate state. One gap to hold in view: Hawaii Pacific Health, nearby in our data, shows a higher hourly median at $56.61. Scheduling rules, float expectations, ratios, residency, and tuition help are not in what we can document yet, so those are questions you would bring to the conversation.
