CREDENTIA performs CNA testing in Alaska. Qualifications for testing include:
- You must successfully complete a state-approved nurse aide training program and pass both the written and skills portions of the NNAAP examination.
The two parts of the examination process, the Written (or Oral) Examination and the Skills Evaluation, will be administered on the same day. You must pass both parts to
be certified and listed on your state’s Nurse Aide Registry. The Written Examination consists of seventy (70) multiple-choice questions written in English. An Oral Examination may be taken in place of the Written Examination if you have difficulty reading English.
The Oral Examination consists of sixty (60) multiple-choice questions and ten (10) reading comprehension questions. If you want to take the Oral Examination, you must request it when you submit an application to register for the examination.
At the Skills Evaluation you will be asked to perform five (5) randomly selected nurse aide skills. You will be given thirty (30) minutes to complete the five (5) skills. You will be rated on these skills by a Nurse Aide Evaluator.
You can review the Candidate Handbook for more testing information.
