Description

Bassett Army Community Hospital, Fort Wainwright, Alaska is located in interior Alaska just outside of Fairbanks, the second largest city in the state (population 33,000).

Fort Wainwright Fairbanks is located in the heart of Alaska’s Interior on the banks of the Chena River, approximately 350 miles from Anchorage and 120 miles from Mt.McKinley National Park, which is known for Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. By air Fairbanks is 45 minutes from Anchorage and about 3 hours from Seattle. Our community offers exceptional opportunities for year round outdoor activities such as down hill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, rafting, canoeing and boating. Cruising the Chena and Tanana rivers on an authentic sternwheeler is as popular as a drive to the bubbling mineral waters at Manley, Circle, and Chena Hot Springs. Spectacular views of the Northern Lights can be seen frequently during late fall until early spring. From mid-May through July we enjoy over 20 hours of daylight each day. Fairbanks has developed into a dynamic trade and transportation center for Interior and Far North Alaska. Alaska's second largest city (population 32,156) is also home to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Bassett Army Community Hospital is listed in the top 100 Most Wired Hospitals.

Not including all aspects of their work experience. It is important to make sure all aspects of past work are included. For example, if you have worked on an inpatient Medical-Surgical Unit but frequently had pediatric patients to care for, pediatric experience should be listed. Similarly, if you have worked on a Maternal-Newborn Unit, its’ important to describe if this work included Labor and Delivery and Newborn Nursery.
