Alaska Board of Nursing

The mission of the Alaska Board of Nursing is to actively promote and protect the health of the citizens of Alaska through governance of the practice of nursing.

The Board adopts regulations to carry out the laws governing the practice of Nursing and the work of Nurse Aides in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary action against people who violate the licensing laws.

The Board meets four times a year and offers a public comment period at each meeting.

We encourage you to review and use the various options presented on this website.

Processing Times

If you have applied for licensure, please check the MY LICENSE online portal for real-time updates on the progress of your application. You can expect an update regarding the status of the initial application within 4-6 weeks. If you are then asked to provide additional documentation, it may take an additional 4-6 weeks to review.

Answers to most other questions can be located using the links on the right-hand side of the page. If you are unable to find answers to your questions, please utilize the Customer Contact Form. Thank you for your patience while we attend to these priorities, and we will respond to your inquiry within four business days.
