The hospitals just took a huge financial hit and had their budget slashed. I don't know if they will be doing much hiring anytime soon. There aren't that many of them, you could email their personnel offices and inquire.
Other than Craiglist and newspapers you could try contacting the medical centers and hospitals directly. There aren't that many listings for them in the phone book so it wouldn't take all that long to call them all.
Can you take a sabbatical from your job so if things don't work out over here you will still be able to have a job to go back to? Will you have at least a year's worth of living expenses and a ticket back? Is there family over here to help out?
There were forty job listings in the Hilo paper last Monday and many of the listings were for the Kona side or were part time listings. I would think it will be difficult to get a job equivalent to the one you now hold. From the looks of the newspaper, it will be difficult to find a job you can afford to live on but I haven't been out looking for jobs so maybe I'm wrong.
