The health care industry in Alaska has generated more new jobs, mostly nursing jobs, than any other industry in the state in the past decade. However, Alaska is still in the midst of a serious nursing shortage, much like other states. Nursing educators are in high demand to increase the number of nursing school graduates and help ease the stress on hospitals because of the shortage. Qualified nursing candidates at all levels are sought after, especially in the city areas of Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau.
Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) are advanced practice registered nurses that have been certified to provide anesthesia and related care before and after surgical, diagnostic, therapeutic and obstetrical procedures. To become a CRNA, a licensed, registered nurse must have at least one year of work experience in an acute care setting, earn a master?s degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program and pass the National Certification Examination (NCE), which is developed and administered by the Council on Certification of Nurse Anesthetists (CCNA). CRNAs are among the highest-paid registered nurses, making an average annual salary of $168,500.
