Richland is the one Tri-City with a college CNA program in town: Columbia Basin College's Health Science Center on Northgate Drive. Compare it with facility training and the 4-week, $1,100 course in Federal Way about 230 miles west.
Pasco hosts Columbia Basin College's main campus, but its nursing assistant program runs from the Richland Health Science Center by quarter. The 4-week, $1,100 Federal Way course is a 232-mile Greyhound ride from Pasco station.
Kennewick's local CNA option is Columbia Basin College's quarter-system program at its Richland Health Science Center. The 4-week, $1,100 course in Federal Way, 230 miles away, fits students relocating west or HCAs bridging in one week.
