Overview

The development of the Nursing Program at Alaska Pacific University addresses the ongoing nursing shortage and offers a new pathway for growing a sustainable nursing workforce in our State.

Degree Fit

The RN to BSN Program ensures that the existing Alaska-based Registered Nurses can continue to provide care in local health facilities while pursuing higher education and professional goal attainment. This distinctive program not only provides an educational pathway for Registered Nurses to attain their bachelor’s degree in Nursing (RN-BSN), but delivers an education that is grounded in cultural competence and cultural safety.

The program incorporates indigenous ways of knowing and seeks to prepare Registered Nurses to embrace their role as health and wellness advocates for Alaska Natives.

Career Opportunities

As the focus of healthcare shifts to primary prevention and care at the community level, the need for Alaska-based nurses grows. Registered Nurses who attain a BSN degree have greater job placement opportunities and increased earning potential throughout the State of Alaska.
