We're teaching tomorrow's nurses! Our vision is to be a leader in the transformation
of nursing in Alaska by being dedicated to improving local and global health outcomes.
Welcome to the ²ÊÉñvlllÕù°Ô School of Nursing! The purpose of the School of Nursing is to promote
the health and well-being of people and communities by fostering excellence and innovation
in nursing education, research and healthcare. Our core values are the following:
Excellence – We strive for the best, to continually improve ourselves and our endeavors.
Respect – We treat each person in a manner that recognizes their intrinsic value as
a human being.
Integrity – We demonstrate unwavering honesty and decency.
Caring – We display kindness and concern for all, especially for those in need.
Health is contextual and is influenced by social, political, economic, and cultural
environments. As a partner in shaping healthcare for Alaska, the School of Nursing prepares
students for current and future roles in local, state, national, and worldwide arenas. We
are pleased you are considering our school and we hope your educational experience
with us will be rewarding. We wish you success in advancing your nursing career.

Academic Programs
Use advanced simulation technology and real-world clinical learning experiences to
become a successful nursing generalist.
Dr. Tina DeLapp, a ²ÊÉñvlllÕù°Ô emerita Professor of Nursing, and Pheobe Bales, a legal studies student, have received awards for their outstanding achievements in philanthropy.
This March, students from ²ÊÉñvlllÕù°Ô’s pharmacy and nurse practitioner programs will travel to Pilot Station and Akiak to administer free health screenings to Head Start students and the wider community. This trip is the first of two planned to rural Alaska communities each year, one in spring and another in fall, referred to as Project Partnership for Alaska’s Kids (PAK).
²ÊÉñvlllÕù°Ô alumni find many ways to stay connected and give back to their community, including nursing grad Tisha Benson, public health and ambulatory care nurse at Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.
How integral is Providence to Alaska? Not only does the hospital make up the second half of the namesake UMED District, but the organization is the largest non-government employer in the state, naturally resulting in the employment of a large number of ²ÊÉñvlllÕù°Ô nursing and surgical technology alumni.
School of Nursing Student Support
Provides support and resources to help students from rural Alaska communities be successful
throughout their nursing degree program.
