State Requirements
State requirements for nurse assistant certification differ from state to state, and PTCC offers two training options to accommodate the needs of students wishing to work in Minnesota and/or Wisconsin. Both training options include classroom instruction in anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and basic nursing skills. Students also gain hands-on experience within the “lab” portion of training.
