After several years of college I have reached my first career goal by becoming a Registered Nurse. I would like to use my education and training to help other people and do so in a place where I believe I can make more of a difference. I have heard of the healthcare in Alaska and how there is such a desperate need of providers and nurses in the smaller areas. There are several hundreds of people and their families that do not have access to adequate healthcare considering they do not live in, or close to, one of the few large cities in Alaska. As a result, I am excited to say that I am pursing a nursing position to help those in need in the beautiful state of Alaska! While we are nervous of what lies ahead and scared to leave our friends and family behind, I am excited to put my training to greater use in a place that needs me most. The biggest obstacle at this point is the initial cost of moving and that is what we are seeking help for at this time. We are having to drive our cars to Bellingham, WA (a 16 hour drive from our current location in Utah), then to take a ferry to Haines, AK (a 7 day journey) where we will conclude with a 18 hour drive to Sterling AK. The distance and lack of accessibility of the state of Alaska makes travel expensive especially when you consider taking whatever belongings we need to establish a new household for our family. Making this trip with our 2 year old son is sure to keep things exciting as well. My wife and I would truly be greatful for any amount of help to assist us in this adventure to get us to a place that is in need of the skills that I've worked extremely hard for.
