Nursing in Alaska (Anchorage, Juneau and, Kodiak: travel, jobs, oil)

[k.s.nunn]

I am seriously thinking about moving to Alaska. It has always been a dream of mine as I love the outdoor life, especially hunting and fishing I have never been to Alaska, but feel I would like it could anybody give me some information on nursing in Alaska, such as the availability of jobs and what is the pay rate for a registered nurse. I was told that some of the more remote logging and mining camps are flying fly out does anybody know if they have nurses. And what the pay rate is in one of these camps.

Before becoming a nurse. I worked as a commercial diver in the oil industry for about 10 years or so working as a part of a small team is not new to me. At present I live in Australia, so I would have to get my Alaskan nursing qualification so if anybody can help me with websites. It would be a great help thanks a lot Karl.

If you are an RN you should have no problem finding a job in AK, especially as a traveller. Juneau and Kodiak are always advertising for nursing positions, for example. Try looking in the classifieds section of the Anchorage Daily News, particularly on the Sunday edition. They've got almost everything online, you have to register after the first couple pages but its free. I've also seen help-wanted ads for nurses in the back of the Alaska magazine almost every issue.
