Strengthening Alaska's Health Care Workforce
Alaska's health care system faces unique challenges due to its vast and remote geography, and a stable health care workforce is crucial to promoting a healthy economy and strong communities.
The state's Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development recognizes the importance of a stable health care system, with nurses being the backbone of that system.
However, Alaska is projected to have the largest shortage of nurses in the nation in just five years, while many other states are expected to meet demand or have a surplus of nurses.
The challenges of retaining and recruiting nurses in Alaska are complex and require innovative solutions.
Health care workers, and nurses in particular, are the backbone of that system. We cannot deliver quality patient care without them.
A potential solution to this challenge is the nurse licensure compact, which can help strengthen Alaska's health care workforce.
Author's summary: Alaska faces a severe nursing shortage.
