This program provides students with academic and hands-on training which prepares them to perform basic patient care under the direction of nursing staff in a long-term care facility. The duties of a Nurse Aide include, but are not limited to, feeding, bathing, dressing, grooming, and transporting patients, and changing linens. After successful completion, students are eligible to take the state test for long-term care nursing assistants. The test consists of two parts, written and skills portions. Both must be passed for the student to become a State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) and be placed on the Ohio Nurse Aide Registry. This program is governed by the Ohio Department of Health.
