How to Become a CNA in Alaska

The medical field is growing and expanding exponentially, and in Alaska there is a strong demand for nurse aides. Becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), also known as health aide, home health aide, nurse aide, etc can put an individual in a very advantageous position for securing long-term employment.

The healthcare industry expansion includes a demand for infrastructure, facilities, medicine, technology components and most importantly healthcare providers. The entry-level CNA position is one of the quickest and easiest pathways into the healthcare profession. With a short 3-6 week training program one can complete the required education and training necessary to become a CNA.

The final step will be to take and pass the Alaska state CNA certification exam. The CNA examination fee schedule in Alaska is as follows:

$50 Non-Refundable Application Fee
$100 Certification Fee
$60 Fingerprint Processing Fee
$50 Examination Fee

After passing the exam the newly certified individual will join the Alaska state Nurse Aide Registry list which indicates to the public and to potential employers which individuals hold an active CNA license to practice in Alaska. With relatively low costs for education and training, the CNA career path is widely accessible to many people throughout Alaska. This position provides a “gateway” into the medical field and gives the individual valuable exposure and work experience in a healthcare environment. Many who start as CNAs later go back to school to become a Registered Nurse or LPN because they want to make more money and take on greater responsibilities.

Working as a CNA in Alaska can be rewarding in and of itself. For those who enjoy care giving and helping others this can be an ideal fit. Working in a large public hospital can be fast-paced and challenging, especially when dealing with multiple patients at a time and working with a group of other healthcare providers. To become a successful CNA the individual must be able to multitask, remain calm under pressure, make clear decisions in a timely manner, work well with others in a team environment.

For more information you can review the Nursing Statutes and Regulations provided by the Alaska State Board of Nursing.
