Our Mission
To improve the healthcare of Alaska by growing its workforce and preparing students with the skills, training, and experience needed to start a new career as a CNA.

- Collecting non-invasive body fluid specimens
- Taking vital signs
- Assisting physicians and nursing staff members with procedures as needed

After completing the program, you will be able to apply for testing with the Alaska Board of Nursing to obtain your Nurse Aide Certification in Alaska.
