Maui cohort formed to help address the shortage of Licensed Practical Nurses
Kaiser Permanente, UNITE Here! Local 5 and the University of Hawaii Maui College are launching a program to train current employees to become Licensed Practical Nurses. Once licensed, the cohort participants will have the opportunity to apply and fill critical open Kaiser Permanente LPN positions. The program aims to address the state’s nursing shortage which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
