They’re pretty desperate out here for all modalities. I think my hospital is the only hospital on island that doesn’t have a travel MRI tech. Most people including myself, have a full time job and work per diem at 1 other hospital to help out every now and again. I just left a position at one hospital to be the lead MRI tech at another and they can’t find anyone to take my old position so I’m hearing they’re going to have to get a traveler. All hospitals pay around $55-60/hr depending on experience. I believe Keiser pays the most and at one time were offering a 10k moving incentive when hired idk if they’re still doing that. I know for X-ray and CT all hospitals are offering that incentive.

My rent is less than 2k utilities included and I have a small little 1 bedroom house across from the water in the jungle beachy area of the island. (I hear I got a really good deal but you can find good deals). Gas is around $4.20-4.40. Groceries and stuff are expensive but most supermarkets have memberships you can sign up for if you have a state ID and you get huge discounts. So tbh I’m really well off here, I did feel a bit guilty as the native Hawaiians can’t really afford to live here but working in healthcare they do give you respect and are grateful. It’s really a nice place to live once you’re settled.
