Nurses with a BSN possess the credentials and proper training that allows them to apply for job positions with a higher level of responsibility, which also typically translates into receiving more pay. From becoming a charge nurse or educating LPNs in training facilities, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing opens many doors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) identifies Alaska as one of the top five highest-paying states in the United States for registered nurses as they stand to make a median annual salary of $80,970.
While not all nurses graduating from a BSN program in Alaska will have completed their classes on a college campus, others will have taken advantage of the benefits that an online curriculum can provide.
