North Star is Alaska’s premier behavioral health provider that specialized in helping young people with life’s challenges. We recognize that childhood should be a time of joy, fulfillment, growth, and nurturing care. We also recognize that situations happen that are beyond young people’s control or ability to effectively handle. Our programs at North Star work with the family and the community to help facilitate optimal growth and nurturing throughout times of childhood adversity. Our goal is to help young people get on a track that leads to a life of youthfulness – the life that child and adolescents deserve.
We are currently searching for an RN to join our established team. The RN will serve as a Charge Nurse, being responsible for delivering quality general and psychiatric nursing care to patients with emotional or psychiatric disorders.

This position requires a current Alaska RN license as well as either a Bachelor’s or Associates degree in Nursing.
