Birmingham is the largest metropolitan area in the state, but Montgomery is the capital. The climate is temperate and the geography coastal to mountainous with a vast in-between of rolling hills. The economy is divided between high-growth business, including healthcare; and agriculture.

Needed: Nurses in Alabama

Everywhere nursing faculty is a primary requirement, without them there is little chance to make headway on the nursing shortage, but RNs, LPNs and advanced practice nurses of all specialties are invited. A number of large state universities offer both campus-based as well as online nursing degrees. This way they reach out to a larger audience and quite possibly secure a new front-line of nurses for hospitals in the state.

Alabama resident students: choose between in-state online nursing degree programs or a wide range of programs offered at a distance. This is the true beauty of online learning. Which degree should you pursue? Associates, Bachelors and Masters degrees are all available online and in a dizzying array of specialties. Don't limit yourself. Nurses with a mere two years of distance education may land hot jobs at very good hospitals and clinics.

Getting Repaid for Your Education and Hard Work

The Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELP) is a government-based program that provides incentive to nurses willing to work in underserved facilities across the nation, including Alabama. Qualified nurses with outstanding student loans may exchange service for up to 60% in student loan repayment.
