About Island Temporary Nursing
Island Temporary Nursing (ITN) is a licensed healthcare staffing agency locally owned and operated in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi since 2007. We connect qualified, bilingual care professionals with clients in private homes, clinics, and hospitals throughout our community.
ITN was founded with a particular focus on Honolulu’s Japanese-speaking community. We actively recruit bilingual English/Japanese caregivers trained to deliver culturally sensitive care, and all coordination and communication is available in both languages.
Every ITN team member undergoes thorough background screening, skills testing, and immunization verification. All employees are directly employed by ITN and fully bonded and insured.
What ITN Provides
Our staff includes Personal Assistants, Nurse Aides (NA), Certified Nurse Aides (CNA), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Registered Nurses (RN), and Social Workers. Depending on your care plan, our aides can assist with:
- General household tasks — meal preparation, light housekeeping, bed-making, laundry, and kitchen clean-up
- Companionship, reading aloud, and recreational activities
- Medication reminders and accompaniment on outings
- Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, ambulation, and transfer assistance
- Vital sign monitoring, intake and output (I&O) recording, and ROM exercises
- Short-term respite coverage when a primary caregiver is unavailable

Our Commitment
More Choices
We maintain a diverse roster of care professionals so every client is matched with the right caregiver — someone who fits their schedule, their preferred language, and their specific care requirements. We listen carefully to each client and family, and we look at care needs from a broad perspective so we can propose the most appropriate plan. When circumstances change, we adapt.
More Quality
Quality is not just a promise at ITN — it is our operating standard. Only caregivers who clear our rigorous screening process join the team. Once on board, staff receive ongoing access to the latest care techniques, safety protocols, and training opportunities so their skills are always current. Our experienced coordination team works closely with clients, families, and healthcare providers to ensure care plans are followed and expectations are met.
More Care
We believe genuine empathy is the foundation of excellent care. By truly understanding each client — their routines, their values, their concerns — we can meet their needs in a way that feels natural and respectful rather than clinical. ITN caregivers are encouraged to put themselves in their clients’ shoes, and that perspective shapes every interaction. ITN is also affiliated with Hawai'i Healthcare School , a Nurse Aide training program that prepares the next generation of caregivers right here in Honolulu.
