Nurse Shortages Don’t Wait for Hiring Cycles

Nurse Shortages Don’t Wait for Hiring Cycles

Hawaiʻi facilities face constant nurse staffing pressure:

  • Too few local nurses for open positions

  • Specialty units that are hard to staff

  • Leaves, vacancies, and seasonal census spikes

  • Long recruiting timelines for permanent hires

When units run short, patient care and your permanent staff feel it first.

Real People. Real Results.

We hired Kahu Malama Nurses to help take care of my father at his apartment after he got moved from the hospital to Hospice care. He really wanted to be at home rather than go into a facility. Kathy, the owner, met with us and worked with us to get the proper level of care without overselling. We hired 24/7 certified nursing assistants who proved to be very knowledgeable and professional. My sister and myself also stayed at my dad's condo and helped with his care. The nursing assistants gave us peace of mind in his care as well as expertise in areas we didn't have plus the knowledge that our dad was being looked after while we were able to get some sleep. I would recommend this company.

I’ve been out of work for such a long time, but as soon as I filled an application with Kahu Malama Nurses I got a call from Liliana. She’s been so great with finding me a job and basically holding my hand throughout the whole process. Liliana has gone way above and beyond to make sure I was taking care of me even down to the smallest details. I wish I had more stars to give because this was such a great experience. Thank you!!!
