Clinical rotations in Hawaii

Students and preceptors on Precept Now come from across Hawaii, including Honolulu, Hilo, Kailua-Kona, Kahului and Lihue. You can search for preceptors by specialty and location, then reach out directly to arrange paperwork, schedules and site requirements with your school.

Major areas for rotations in Hawaii

Oahu: Honolulu and surrounding communities, home to most of the state’s hospitals, specialty care and military medicine.
Hawaii Island: Hilo and Kona, with rural districts that depend on community health centers.
Maui: Kahului and Wailuku, plus rural Upcountry and Hana communities.
Kauai: Lihue and rural island communities.
Molokai and Lanai: small, remote communities with very limited health care access.

Neighbor Island clinics and community health centers often welcome students who can commit to the full rotation, but plan housing and inter-island travel well in advance.

Hawaii NP practice environment

Hawaii is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Hawaii Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Hawaii was one of the earlier states to adopt full practice authority, and NPs are key primary care providers on the Neighbor Islands.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Hawaii Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
