The first step to become a nursing assistant is to complete a training program that is approved by the state. Once you are through, you can then apply and try to take on the state exams. You will also need to pass the background checks for criminal records in order to know your test results. The board will not release your scores if you have not submitted your background records.

In the state of Alaska you need to take a total of at least 140 hours of CNA training in order to qualify to take the nursing assistant examination. This includes 80 hours of practice in a clinical health setting and 60 hours of classroom instruction. After completion of your training, and upon passing a background check and an application you become eligible to take the nurse aide test.

Both portions of the exam must be passed within 24 months of taking your course instruction. Those who pass are added to the state registry and become certified as a nursing assistant with active status.
