More about Alaska Surgery Center
Postings on the board right now include full-time day-shift Pre-Admit Testing and PRN RN First Assist, and the OR RN lane asks for a licensed nurse with at least one year of operating-room time. Benefits called out on those postings include health insurance, PTO, tuition reimbursement, loan assistance, 401(k) matching, and an employee stock purchase plan; the HCA package is described with a 100% match on 3–9% and a 10% ESPP discount. The center has also been named among SRC-accredited centers. Anchorage itself runs a cost of living a little above the national level, no state income tax, and a citywide commute near sixteen minutes. What you will not find in the public record yet is a deep stack of nurse reviews—only two Glassdoor write-ups sit behind the ratings—so the day-to-day culture picture is still thin.
