At Nurse Salary Guide we offer the most up to date information available. Here is a list of the best nursing schools in Hawaii. As you can see there are only 8 but this still gives prospective student nurses a choice of where to train.
Given Hawaii’s size and geography it is probably more interesting that they have as many choices for nursing school!
As always I recommend you use this list to narrow down your search initially before reaching out to the schools that interest you. Take your time and look in depth at each nursing program – you need to get this decision right first time!
