Program Overview

At the Annenberg School of Nursing (ASN), we have a successful history of preparing our vocational nurse graduates for the state licensing exam. We began a Nurse Assistant (NA) program in 2012 and the Annenberg tradition of excellence continues. By recruiting the best-qualified student prospects, building a faculty of excellent instructors, and keeping class size small, we have duplicated the success of our vocational nurse program. Graduates of the NA program are eligible to apply for state certification through the California Department of Public Health. Certification opens the door to entry-level employment opportunities as a CNA in California.

The ASN passing rate on the certification exam is 90% overall. For a detailed look at our program statistics and passing rates, click below to download the NA Fact Sheet:
