As a travel RN with We Care Staffing, you'll deliver direct, hands-on patient care at the bedside. That means assessing patients, developing and carrying out care plans, administering medications and treatments, documenting in the facility's EMR, and educating patients and families along the way. You'll step into an established care team as a fully contributing member from week one, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses while bringing the adaptability that makes experienced travelers so valuable to busy units.
We fill Hawaii RN contracts across the specialties facilities need most. That includes critical care (ICU), emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry or step-down units, along with specialty roles in labor and delivery (L&D), NICU, the operating room (OR), PACU, oncology, and behavioral health. Whatever your unit, your recruiter matches you to assignments that fit your experience rather than simply whatever happens to be open.

Hawaii is the assignment nurses bookmark first, and the pay matches the postcard: We Care Staffing's current Hawaii RN contracts reach $3,550 per week, the highest rate on our board, reflecting both the islands' chronic nursing shortage and their position among the top-paying states for RNs nationally per BLS data.
The Queen's Health Systems and Hawaii Pacific Health anchor demand on Oahu, with steady needs on Maui and the Big Island. Varied shifts on a 12x3 schedule leave four days a week for the part of Hawaii everyone else saves for retirement.

Schedule
Weekly pay on this contract blends taxable wages with tax-free stipends for housing and meals, provided you maintain a qualifying tax home under IRS rules. Because stipend ceilings track GSA per diem rates by location, ask your recruiter for the full package breakdown rather than comparing contracts on the headline number alone.
Hawaii has a graduated state income tax that reaches 11%, so stipend-heavy packages matter here. For benchmarking: Staff RNs nationally average about $45 per hour per BLS data. Travel contracts typically exceed staff equivalents once tax-free stipends are counted, and the figures above give you the floor to negotiate from.

Hawaii is not a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so you'll need a Hawaii RN license by endorsement through the Hawaii Board of Nursing even if you hold a multistate license. Processing timelines vary and the board's volume is seasonal, so the single most important move is filing a complete application well before you want to start. Apply for the license before you start your contract search and track it closely; a complete first submission is the single best way to protect your start date.
