The LPN program is held over two semesters and once complete, an individual can sit for a national examination, NCLEX-PN, and achieve licensure. With licensure, the LPN can provide direct care to patients and provide health teaching to clients in many settings. LPNs often assist registered nurses in more complex, non-routine care. Typical duties include taking vital signs, administering prescribed medications, giving injections, preparing patients for medical examinations and surgical procedures, and recording information in the patient’s medical record.

Bartlett will be introducing summer high school internship opportunities starting in 2023! Internships are a great way to introduce Juneau's rising adults to health care options, provide hands-on learning opportunities, add value to clinical and non-clinical units by involving interns in tasks, and sharing their passion with the next generation of health care workers.
Our program is designed to excite and promote young adult learners to go into health care and supporting fields and ultimately, we hope they'll return to us here at Bartlett!
Through generous funding from the Bartlett Regional Hospital Foundation, we will offer students a completion award for those who meet the 2023 program requirements.
Bartlett will be offering a healthcare training program in the summer of 2023! Our goal is to introduce and familiarize university/college students with the social and working culture at Bartlett Regional Hospital.
During the summer session, college level students will work in a designated care area (clinical and non-clinical available) and have the opportunity to shadow skilled professionals, gaining valuable experience in healthcare fields and exposure to work in the hospital setting. There will be ample opportunities to learn new skills, practice assessments, view procedures, and make connections from theory to practice specific to the healthcare program in which the student is interested in.
Our program is designed to help enrich clinical time for those students that have completed one semester of a college level program.
Through generous funding from the Alaska Hospital & Healthcare Association, we will offer students a completion award for those who meet the 2023 program requirements.
Application window has closed. Interviews will be held May 20 - 21.
