IHS nursing RN license

[zacarias, ASN, RN]

Hello all,

I've worked IHS facilities before and I love it. I know true IHS facilities let you work with any RN license from any state. My question is for Alaska.

I do not have an Alaska RN license but would be I be able to work at the IHS facilities in cities such as Nome, Barrow, Kotzebue etc... or would I need to get an AK license? Thanks!

Kotzebue is tribal and not IHS; so I would assume you'd have to get an Alaska license.

Just clicked on an IHS tribal-designated position nursing position for Kotzebue Job Search Results | IHS Jobs

it does not specify an AK license just "Licensure as a Registered Nurse in the U.S."
