I received a note into my e mail and this very nice lady informed me that in Barrow the hospital provides housing and 3 meals at their cafeteria plus transportation if they put you up at the old hospital. I am ok with that. I am not a very needy person. I am going to try and get an assignment in Barrow for early June, I will be done with this contract towards the end of May. Michelle, you stated in your post that you are presently in Alaska. Are you on the northern part. I will try it in June if I am able to get a contract, and if I like it, I may renew it and spend a winter up there. Thank you so much for answering my post. I personally would not be interested in the bigger cities like Ankorage, I have plenty of big and smaller cities here in the lower states.

I would appreciate any help from those of you who have taken contracts in Alaska. I have been doing travel Nursing for 2 years, but always in the lower 48 states. I am planning on taking a contract in Alaska in early June, as I am doing a contract right now. I am looking at the Northern part, like Barrow, Kotzebue, Nome, Bethel, but would be receptive to Sikta, Cordoba etc. Anyone knows how they do housing up there, I have always found my own housing, but Alaska is not necessarily an easy place to find housing! I work in the ED. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my e mail , I check my e mail more often than this website. [email protected] Thank you for any help. Estelle RN

THANK YOU. This information has opened my eyes big time! Thank you for sharing.

I am new to this site. I am currently studying for the CCRN, I find it very hard, I will be attending the review class by Ms. Laura Gasparios at the end of the month, July 30th and 31st in Augusta. I have not decided yet as to when I will actually take the test. Its pretty powerful!!! I have been working for the past 9 years in the ER. To tell you the truth I am not even sure as to how to go about registering for the test. So I need some of you out there to help me out. I do most of my studying at night, when the ER is quiet. I have a lot of material, sometimes its so overwhelming, One thing is for sure, I will continue studying and will take the test. Any help would be appreciated.
