Alaska's nursing shortage is worsening, prompting efforts to join the Nurse Licensure Compact to improve care access and staffing.
Alaska faces a worsening nursing shortage, projected to become the worst in the U.S. within five years, prompting calls to join the Nurse Licensure Compact.
The move would allow nurses to practice across state lines with one license, improving access to care in rural and remote areas, speeding up staffing during shortages, and easing recruitment and retention.
Support is widespread, including from the Alaska Board of Nursing, hospitals, nursing schools, and 92% of licensed nurses surveyed.
The compact maintains state oversight and has a 25-year track record without any state leaving.
Joining would strengthen Alaska’s healthcare system and ensure residents receive timely, quality care.
