As a travel RN with We Care Staffing, you'll deliver direct, hands-on patient care at the bedside. That means assessing patients, developing and carrying out care plans, administering medications and treatments, documenting in the facility's EMR, and educating patients and families along the way. You'll step into an established care team as a fully contributing member from week one, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses while bringing the adaptability that makes experienced travelers so valuable to busy units.
We fill Alaska RN contracts across the specialties facilities need most. That includes critical care (ICU), emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry or step-down units, along with specialty roles in labor and delivery (L&D), NICU, the operating room (OR), PACU, oncology, and behavioral health. Whatever your unit, your recruiter matches you to assignments that fit your experience rather than simply whatever happens to be open.

Alaska combines two things travelers rarely get together: some of the highest contract rates in the country and zero state income tax. We Care Staffing's current Alaska RN contracts pay up to $3,200 per week, and every taxable dollar of it escapes state tax entirely.
Providence Alaska in Anchorage and the Alaska Native Medical Center anchor most demand, with Fairbanks adding steady needs. Recruiting permanent staff to the far north is hard, which is exactly why Alaska treats its travelers well; summer contracts in particular are spectacular and competitive, so claim them early.

Schedule
Your weekly package combines a taxable hourly base rate with tax-free housing and meal stipends, available to travelers who maintain a qualifying tax home and duplicate living expenses. Stipend amounts follow federal GSA rates for your assignment city, and your recruiter shows you the realistic net for any contract before you sign.
Alaska has no state income tax, which makes every taxable dollar stretch further. For benchmarking: Staff RNs nationally average about $45 per hour per BLS data. Travel contracts typically exceed staff equivalents once tax-free stipends are counted, and the figures above give you the floor to negotiate from.

Alaska is not a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so you'll need a Alaska RN license by endorsement through the Alaska Board of Nursing even if you hold a multistate license. Plan for application and verification steps before your target start date, and ask your recruiter about expedited options for active contracts. Apply for the license before you start your contract search and track it closely; a complete first submission is the single best way to protect your start date.
