With a very solid number of schools offering many programs, Arkansas has a lot of diverse opportunities for nurses to practice. There are metropolitan areas, rural areas, and even vacation hot spots that are experiencing a nursing shortage. Arkansas is also home to many local community colleges and large universities that provide the perfect opportunity for someone to begin their nursing career.

With all this opportunity, why is the state experiencing the same worldwide nursing shortage?

To start with, many of Arkansas’ vacation spots experience considerable population growth during the vacation season, which puts added strain on the state’s medical facilities. Arkansas is also finding itself running into the same problems as other states with serious nursing shortages, like an aging populace that requires a higher level of medical care, and large portions of its nursing workforce that are nearing retirement age. This is bad for the state’s hospitals but good for newly-graduated nurses looking for employment opportunities.

One of the best advantages to becoming a nurse in Arkansas is that it is one of twenty states that are part of the Nurse Licensure Compact. This means that a nurse that’s licensed in Arkansas is as good as licensed in any other NLC state, which makes things much more convenient for travel nurses.

Career Opportunities for Arkansas Nurses

Nurses looking for jobs in Arkansas almost always gravitate to the state’s large hospitals in urban areas like Little Rock. Though large hospitals can provide better pay and sign-on bonuses than small hospitals can, they aren’t the only employer worth considering. Other facilities in desperate need of qualified nurses include:

  • Private practices
  • Community Hospitals
  • Nursing homes
  • Hospice care centers

Career and Salary Information for Arkansas Nurses

Arkansas is a large state, which means that there’s a lot of variation in nursing salaries. For example, a registered nurse working in Little Rock can earn a median annual income of $58,697, while the same nurse would earn $55,807 if he or she moved to Fayetteville. These figures represent an overall salary range of about $46,000, to nearly $70,000. All figures are from the BLS.

Arkansas Board of Nursing

Arkansas’ Board of Nursing is a nurse, nursing student, or nursing educator’s best resource for information relating to all things nursing in Arkansas. The Board can provide information on topics like licensing, examinations, license and certification renewals, the Nurse Licensure Compact, approved nursing programs, industry news, and more. The Arkansas State Board of Nursing can be reached at the University Tower Bldg., 1123 South University, Suite 800, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204-1619 or on their website.

Nursing Scholarships in Arkansas

The following nursing scholarships and grants help Arkansas residents and students who have been accepted to or are enrolled in qualified nursing programs.

Arkansas Nurses Foundation
If you already have a nursing degree and are licensed, you are eligible to apply for a scholarship through the Arkansas Nurses Foundation. In addition to the application, you will need a current resume, letters of recommendation, and official transcripts.  Only students accepted into an approved advanced degree program can apply to the Foundation for financial support.  The Dorothea Fund Scholarship and Mary Gray Scholarship are the Foundation’s flagship programs. For applications and deadline information, write to the Arkansas Nurses Association, Attn: Arkansas Nurses Foundation, 1123 South University, Suite 1015, Little Rock, AR 72204 or call the Foundation at (501) 244.2363.

SHARE Foundation
The SHARE Foundation is a nonprofit health organization that sponsors 11 nursing scholarship programs for Arkansas residents.  Several of the scholarships require applicants to reside in Union County, Arkansas.  Others are designated for students enrolled in the Registered Nursing programs of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas.  All scholarships require a minimum of one-year commitment by the applicant to work at the Medical Center of South Arkansas, the SHARE Foundation, or in an appropriate location in Union County upon graduation.  Applications are accepted three times annually. Nursing students should call the Foundation at (870) 881-9015 for application information.  All submissions must be made in writing to 403 West Oak Street, Suite 100, El Dorado, AR 71730.  Applicants are notified within 30 days of application status.

Educational Institute Nursing Scholarships
One of the best resources for nursing scholarships is your nursing school.  Several of the nursing programs throughout Arkansas offer scholarships and grants to current and incoming students. Visit your school’s nursing department to learn about available financial assistance opportunities.  They will provide applications and guidelines for the scholarships and grants for which you are eligible.  Following is an example of institutional-based nursing scholarships and grants.

University of Arkansas
The University offers a College of Education and Healthcare Scholarship for students enrolled in The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing.  Applications are available at specific times throughout the academic year.  Eligibility criteria include residency, academic ability, and leadership qualities.  Additional information is available at The Office of Academic Scholarships, 319 Graduate Education Building, 101 Old Main, Fayetteville, AR 72701 or by calling (479) 575-4464.

Baptist Health Foundation
If you plan to attend Baptist Health Schools in Little Rock to pursue a nursing degree, you may be eligible for a scholarship.  Their Annual Scholarships program provides awards of at least $500 to study nursing. Awards are available for undergraduate students only.  Applications are available at the Foundation located at 9601 Interstate 630, Exit 7, Little Rock, AR 72205 or by calling (501) 202-1839.

Employer-Sponsored Nursing Scholarships
An often-overlooked resource for nursing scholarships is employers.  Your current employer may have a tuition reimbursement program that helps you pay for a portion of your tuition costs. Typically you will be required to commit to continuing your employment for a specified number of years after the reimbursement.  Company-sponsored nursing scholarships are different than tuition reimbursement. Large employers offer nursing scholarships and grants to employees and the children of employees. Some restrictions may apply to these opportunities.

The Wal-Mart Foundation, Inc.
Employees of Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club and their children who are planning a nursing career are eligible for scholarships from the Foundation.  Students can get application forms from any store management employee in November or January of each year.  Employees are eligible for the Wal-Mart Associate Scholarship while children of employees are eligible for the Walton Foundation Scholarship.  Awards range from $1,000 to $8,000 and are determined based on academic scores, leadership abilities, and financial needs.  Contact the Foundation at 702 S.W. 8th Street, Department 8687, #0505, Bentonville, AR 72716 for further information.

Community-Based Nursing Scholarships
Throughout Arkansas, nursing scholarships and grants are available for residents of specific communities. To learn if your community has nursing scholarships, contact a city official.  The community foundation nearest to your city or county may have nursing scholarships for your community. You will need to contact the foundation directly to learn about available nursing scholarships and grants.  The William H. & Helen L. Nelson Scholarship Fund is an example of a foundation that offers community-based nursing scholarships.

William H. & Helen L. Nelson Scholarship Fund
The Fund provides nursing scholarships to residents of Baxter and Marion counties in Arkansas. For applications, write a letter to the Fund at P.O. Box 1906, Mountain Home, AR 72653.  Your letter should clearly state your intended career goals and why you need a scholarship. Completed applications should be mailed to Baxter Regional Medical Center, 624 Hospital Drive, Mountain Home, AR 72653.  For general questions, you can call the Fund at (870) 508-1000.

Judge J. P. & Elizabeth Reed Foundation
The Foundation awards nursing scholarships to graduating high school students in Greene County, Arkansas.  Awards are based on academic achievement as determined by class rank, ACT score, and grade point average.  For applications, mail a letter of inquiry to P.O. Box 1305, Paragould, AR 72451.  Mail completed applications to Judge J. P. & Elizabeth Reed Foundation, c/o Elizabeth Reed, 1704 Carroll Road, Paragould, AR 72450.  For general questions, you can contact the Foundation at (870) 236-3102.
