The Phoenix Area Nursing Program provides nursing services to 44 Native American tribes throughout
Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. We provide services ranging from small rural clinics to full service
hospitals. There are many opportunities for nurses in all clinical areas. We also utilize nurses
in a variety of expanded roles such as infection control, utilization review, quality management,
case management, discharge planning, nursing education and administrative roles. The Public Health
Nursing Program is a unique program that provides services to patients in the home and community
setting. There are also opportunities for the Advanced Practice Nurse. Nurses will have an exciting
and unique experience caring for many different Native American tribes learning their culture and
heritage.
The Phoenix Area Nursing Program is supported by a strong nursing leadership organization, the
Phoenix Area Council of Nurse Administrators (PACONA). The mission statement of PACONA is, "A network of nursing
leaders providing a voice for Phoenix Area Nurses to maintain the integrity of nursing practice and to
promote the delivery of quality nursing services to I/T/U communities."
