Allow nurse practitioner to practice independent of doctors and p/a.  Give UAA, UAF,UAS, and the little dotted colleges throughout the state the money to pump out  at least 50 a year. Per campus Pay existing nurses tuitions to go and their malpractice insurance as long as they charge less than a lower 48 MD.  Add middle school cna classes and high school LPN classes with a bridge program into nursing. Pay the high school students 250 a week for keeping a b average in lpn classes. This should keep them from looking for a part time job, and they should be ready when they graduate. This should be in every high school.
