Admissions

Our admissions team takes pride in helping connect each of our candidates with both training and employment in healthcare positions. Because our education model is different, our admissions process is a little different as well—and most of our students actually find our application and enrollment process much simpler than those of other training or education institutions.

Admissions Overview

Applying to Premier Nursing Academy is easy. Here are the steps to enroll:

1

Fill out an admissions inquiry form

Our admissions team is here to help make the enrollment process as easy as possible. Our team is prepared to help candidates understand how the program at Premier Nursing Academy works, coordinate interviews with our employer partners, and assist in submitting your application.

Get Started

2

Complete an application

After going through an initial assessment, your admissions advisor will provide you with an application form. The application requests information about your education and employment background that is important for our employer partners.

3

Match with an employer partner

Whether you are already working with a healthcare facility or need to find an employer sponsor, our team is here to help connect you to your future job. Our admissions team will coordinate interviews for you to meet with employers and find the right job for you. This step in the process takes days, not weeks or months.

4

Submit supplemental paperwork

State regulations require that all applicants pass a short written essay and math test, along with a background check. As with all other steps in the process, your admissions representative is here to support you and provide guidance.

5

Start class

After all the paperwork is taken care of, you can join the next cohort of students at Premier Nursing Academy. Welcome to the start of your new career in healthcare! Learn about what to expect

Admissions Q&A

Is the training really free?

Yes. Your future employer will pay for the cost of your training. In some states you may be responsible for a $50 book fee, but the rest of your training is completely paid by your employer.

Are there any requirements to be accepted into the program?

Requirements to begin our program and become a CNA vary by state.

Do I get to choose which employer sponsors me?

Depending on your location, there may be multiple facilities to choose from. You can fill out our form to speak with an admissions representative and find out which options are available for you.

Do I have a guaranteed job after completing the program?

Yes. As a part of our program, you are interviewed and pre-approved for hire prior to starting your training. Once you have completed all training and licensure requirements, you will have a job waiting for you with the employer that sponsored your training.

Are there any requirements or conditions that must be met for the guaranteed employment?

To obtain the free training and guaranteed employment you must commit to working for the sponsoring employer for a pre-determined amount of time. This period can vary by employer but is typically 6 to 12 months. You must pass all training and pass the required state exams in order to obtain employment. All employees must pass a background check and drug screening as well.

Can I enroll to receive training by Premier Nursing Academy if I just want the CNA certification but not work for one of the partner employers?

We may be able to provide training to individuals who are not hired by our employer partners and would like to pay their tuition costs independently. Whether we can do so depends on state regulations and other factors. Contact a Premier Nursing Academy location near you to find out if this option is available in your area.
