A prolific scholar and faculty member, John R. Nofsinger features much of his scholarly and consulting work at financeesp.biz. Author of The Psychology of Investing, John R. Nofsinger serves as the William H. Seward Endowed Chair in Finance at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA).
UAA expands its courses based on market demand, with one program that's currently receiving a large number of applications being nursing, one of the more in-demand professions across the United States currently. Alaska is no exception to this trend, with the state's Department of Labor claiming that an additional 1,141 registered nurses will need to be hired by 2026, the growth being driven by an aging population that is expected to place more pressure on the health care system.
UAA looks to shrink the gap between the demand and supply for nurses by expanding its four-year bachelor's and two-year associate degrees at its school of nursing. However, the university currently suffers from a lack of space, with 120 students being admitted out of 280 competitive applicants, a number it hopes to raise to 180 by 2025.
