In addition to classroom-based training, you will have a “hands on” clinical experience.

If any class time is missed due to an emergency, arrangements must be made to make up the hours at the instructor’s discretion. If hours missed are not due to a verifiable emergency or too many hours are missed then the student will be asked to leave the class and restart with the next session.

What is the Difference between CNA and STNA?
Many people are considering taking nurse aide training programs but aren’t sure about what type of program to look for – STNA, CNA, LNA, or Nurse’s Aide (NA) classes. The State of Ohio does not recognize the term Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), though other states do, such as Michigan. “Nurse Aide” in Ohio is referred to as a State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) and that is only after the candidate meets all the conditions and requirements contained within Ohio Administrative Code §3701-17-01.
“Nurse Aide” means an individual who provides nursing and nursing-related services to residents in a long-term care facility, other than a licensed health professional practicing within the scope of his or her license or an individual who provides nursing or nursing-related services as a volunteer without monetary compensation.” (OAC 3701-17-07.1 (A)(3))
As mandated by the federal government, all states maintain a registry of individuals who have met all the criteria mandated by that state, which includes obtaining training through an accredited school/program and passing a state-mandated written and skills test. The registry contains a list of individuals that are certified to work in long-term facilities, hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics, and homes as a nursing assistant. If your name is not included in your state’s registry, you cannot legally work as a state tested nurse aide (regardless of the title given by another state, person, school, or employer).
