New Hampshire Health Care Association (NHHCA) opened the NHHCA Nurse Training School in the spring of 2007. Our mission is to offer our members customized LNA and MNA training programs that meet their employee recruitment, retention and career advancement goals. By foregoing a dedicated central campus, we have the flexibility to hold classes in the regions where students live and work. This often means holding classes in the long-term care facilities where students will begin the next step on their career paths. Holding classes in locations local to students, limits travel time making more time available for study, family and other important responsibilities.

Both programs are $1,000 per student for NHHCA members. An NHHCA member is anyone who works for a NHHCA member facility. Please call for non-member tuition information.

Some facilities sponsor students and have them sign an agreement to work for 1 year. Other facilities pay for the program up front, and then make payroll deductions until half of the tuition is paid by the student.
