- My first assignment as a travel NP was to Prince of Wales Island in beautiful Southeast Alaska. Probably one of the most remote places I've ever visited. This video documents my experience working as a travel nurse practitioner in remote Alaska. If you've ever considered working in Alaska, have a look! Comment below and let me know what you think! Thanks for stopping by!

THANK YOU!! More to come for sure!
Carle Rae sent me here..Hey David nice video!!! Never knew there was such a thing. Cool!!!
Thank you for stopping by! I had no idea there was such a thing, until a couple years ago. So glad I found out about it. I love the work/life balance, and the ability to see how things are done in healthcare systems across the nation!
Carle sent me! love the video!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Carle is the best! Love working with her.
So excited to find a new travel NP channel! Constantly trying to find info on this as being a travel NP is my dream job. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you for watching!! Check out some of my newer videos on being a travel NP and reach out to me if you have any questions!
Enjoyed this so much David - and Alaska is the bomb - and we didn't even venture out beyond what we could from the ship - you
really need to take your parents to Alaska -they would be so amazed at the majesty of the true frontier
Debra Griffin thank you so much! It’s been such a fabulous journey!!!
Super helpful, I really enjoyed this David!
Thank you for checking me out and watching! 🤗
Can’t wait
Carle Rae recommended your video. Thanks for this insight, never knew there was such a role (especially in remote Alaska). Can't wait for the future videos and insights.
Thank you for watching!! I’m trying to provide some good insight in to the travel NP realm, because there is not much info out there!
@@DavidWarrenNP keep up the great work. I enjoy the videos and the honesty as I'm also in the Dallas area and considering a career change into the medical field. You help expand the horizon regarding career paths.
Hey David... I was sent by Carley Rae!!! Can't wait to watch you on your journey!
Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Cool video, loved every mommy of it!
Thank you so much for watching!!
❤️ Great Video 😃
AK resident here 🙌🏼 born and raised. Have loved watching your videos in regards to the career path itself and your thoughts, as I’m currently an Aspiring nurse practitioner with hopes of specialty care in geriatric memory care. In Alaska this is a high concern, especially those in remote areas where access is limited and providers in this area are slim. Taking more into consideration after watching your recent videos regarding the field. Do you think Alaska could have the same effects as you’ve mentioned in the DWF area ? Thanks for the great content !
I currently live in Anchorage and work in the PICU at ANMC. We get patients medevac'd to us from all over the state: Nome, Kotz, Bethel, Barrow, Dillingham to name a few. We get A LOT of respiratory kids. We also get traumas, kids on snow machines or four wheelers not wearing a helmet. Occasionally we'll transfer to Seattle Children's, but it's pretty rare. There are some surgical specialties for peds that aren't available in Anchorage, like a complicated cardiac or neuro case for example. We don't run ECMO, but that's is coming soon. We commonly have kids intubated on the vent, or ocsillator.
Alaska is a great place to live and work in nursing/medicine. Our travel nurses usually love it so much they extend a couple of times before moving on. We've had a couple stay as long as a year. I'm actually looking at applying to NP school and was wondering what specialty would best be suited for traveling? Thanks!
I love that! How cool! I started my career in the peds ED- so kiddos hold a special place with me.
I’ve transferred tons of patients down to ANMC while working in Alaska. Funny though, I’ve never been to Anchorage! Would love to visit sometime. Thanks for checking out my channel!
What specialty do recommend for traveling as an NP? I guess working in remote Alaska requires a much different skill set than traveling elsewhere. I’m currently looking at options to get back to school. Thanks! You really do need to come visit this area of Alaska sometime! Pretty amazing here!
Cool opportunity! Thanks for sharing. Was there anything you didn’t like about it? The music was a little distracting. But very enjoyable vid. Maybe someday I can do it (before I retire lol). Thank you!
Or make the music even lower in volume. Please!
The last semester of BSN student here, hopefully I can be a nurse in Alaska someday
Congrats on almost finishing! Keep at it!
Carle sent me . I enjoyed the video
Thank you for stopping by!!!
Great information. Thanks for sharing. Seasoned FNP since 2008. Looking at locum or seasonal jobs.
Thanks for watching! This was one of my very first videos I ever posted! Let me tell you- once you go locums, you will never go back to anything else. I can attest for sure, there's not hardly a chance I will ever work a full time job again. Having complete control of my schedule, time, freedom, and making a business out of it was the best decision I ever made.
Carle sent me...great video
Thank you so much for stopping by! It means a lot!
Carle sent me!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by!!! Really appreciate it!
LOVE Remote Alaskan Villages and the culture you can experience and become part of! Have you visited Klawack?
Hi! How funny!!! I worked in Klawock at Alicia Roberts! Are you from POW?
@@DavidWarrenNP Not from POW, but my husband and I used to manage AC stores. We have lived in King Cove, King Salmon and St Mary's. All have small clinics. We knew all the NP's because the communities are so small. Now I am in nursing school and looking forward to travel nursing in AK when the time comes. Thanks for the great videos!
Carle Rae sent me. Love the filming style
Thanks for watching!
That sounds terrifying…
How can I get involved!!! 😁
Sent from Carle!
Thank you for watching!!!
How is EMS for helping out? I work solo coverage in ND. We do have a true ED with CT and a small inpatient area but its just me and an RN. Nothing like this but still kinda scary. Our EMS is good about hanging around for codes and traumas to lend a hand.
Hey~ thanks for watching! This was one of my first videos I ever posted haha. So to answer your question- EMS will hang around to help out, especially if there is a critical situation. As you well know, it's always nice to have an extra set of hands in rural area emergencies.
Carle Rae sent me hear. Very nice.
Thank you for watching! Welcome! 😁
Carle sent me 👋🏾
Hi! Thank you for stopping by!!!
Hi! Your content is gold but the music has been giving me a headache. Please for the love of god have an soothing music instead of rock.
120 days wtf !!!
Did you travel as an RN as well? I'm currently a RN in the ER and I want to travel nurse, but I'm in the MSN-FNP program online with a post-grad certification plan for Acute care so I can still do ER. I don't have the ENP option at my college, and I didn't want to switch colleges right away. My end goal is to travel NP, but I'm not for sure if I should try to travel RN while doing my online classes to get experience? Especially when clinicals start, I don' t think it would be feasible to travel RN... any suggestions?
Bro! Hard to follow you over the musc
Are you FNP? or Acute Care NP?
I have both certifications.
Carle sent me here. I sub’d
Thank you so much! Let me know if there is something you would like to see a video on 😁
What's the pay like for these assignments?
Anywhere from 15k-30k/ month!
@@DavidWarrenNP that's awesome! What would be the best NP background for these assignments? UC, ER, Family Practice, hospitalist? I appreciate your channel! I'm a new grad FNP in Texas trying to get in ED, But it's tough.
Better have malpractice insurance
Always. I hope there’s no NP or RN who ever works a day in their life without malpractice insurance. That’s a dangerous, dangerous road if so.
The music was too much and very loud. Nice video bnb d content but no need for music
