Hawaii Job Listings for CNAs
Certified Nursing Assistant Employment
Hawaii CNA Jobs is a website featuring constantly-updated employment positions for Certified Nursing Assistants, as well as for related positions such as Home Health Aide (HHA), Med Tech, Orderly, Hospice Care, and others. While the CNA job description is typically to assist a supervising RN with the basic aspects of patient care, the position description does vary from one position to another. CNAs typically work in a variety of situations, ranging from in-home care for patients, nursing homes and hospice care facilities to hospitals and LTC facilities. Among the hospitals requiring CNAs in Hawaii are Leahi Hospital, Queen's Medical Center, Straub Clinic, Kahi Mohala Behavioral Health, St. Francis Medical Center, Castle Medical Center, the Hawaii State Hospital, and scores of others. Hawaii, complete with beautiful beaches, towering mountains and notably agreeable climate, has an economy dominated by tourism, though efforts are underway to further diversify. Interestingly, the healthcare industry in Hawaii differs greatly from that in the contiguous U.S. states and the Hawaiian healthcare system insures over 95% of residents. The universal system of healthcare is achieved by requiring employers to provide their employees (who work 20 or more hours per week) with health coverage. In turn, regulation of insurers in Hawaii keeps costs down, assuring employers that their costs in covering their employees are low. This system of healthcare, while derided by some, makes Hawaii a very good location to begin or continue a career in the medical field. Those seeking to become a CNA for the first time will have to complete a CNA training course for certification, but CNA classes can generally be taken at night, allowing candidates to work full-time while completing their training.
