Kodiak College Nursing Aide Course
117 Benny Benson Drive, Kodiak, AK 99615
Phone: (907) 486-9218
Kodiak College is located on 50 acres of land approximately two miles Northeast of Kodiak, Alaska. The school was started in 1968 and utilized an old high school for classes and the student body consisted of 95 students. The building that is used today was constructed in 1972 and there are over 900 active students at the college.
The nursing assistant program is a 140 hour program(80 classroom hours and 60 clinical hours). Preference for admission is given to those who are 18 years or older and hold a GED. While it is possible to get enrollment if you are younger, the chances of actually getting a class are quite slim as they take just 10 students per batch. The total cost for the program is just under $1700 and does not include any sort of immunizations. The cost does include the exam fee which is $249 so that’s pretty good. You will need to provide documentation to show you have been immunized for MMR, Hep B and Vericella.
One of the admission requirements is the completion of an accredited first aid and CPR course. While this requirement is very rare among other colleges, Kodiak has made it compulsory and also offer the required classes on their own campus.

Which one of the following is the most important part of a patient’s environment?
A. media room
B. bathroom
C. bed
D. none of the above
Answer: C – See Section 1 of the CNA Study Guide (Cleanliness and Safety). The bed is the most important part of the patient’s environment. For this reason, it is important to change the linens daily and always pay close attention to the cleanliness of the linens and the area around the bed. Make sure to place soiled linens in the hamper. Throwing them in the hamper may cause the spread of germs by sending bacteria into the air.
