Question 1

Ohio Nurse Aide Registry

Accepted Answer

Once you pass your Ohio state test, you should be able to locate your license information at the website below:
 
https://nurseaideregistry.odh.ohio.gov/Public/PublicNurseAideSearch(https://nurseaideregistry.odh.ohio.gov/Public/PublicNurseAideSearch)
 
Please note the expiration of your STNA designation so that you ensure you complete all the requirements PRIOR to expiration. You also want to make sure your employer reports your hours worked under a licensed nurse or physician to the state on your behalf. Remember: you need to work one 8-hour shift in the 24 month period AND complete 24 hours of continuing education (12 units per year) if you work in a skilled long term care facility or meet the annual training, per policy, of any other organization for which you work (typically 8+ hours per year for a total of 16+ hours) AND YOU must ensure your employer reports your information to the state in order to maintain your STNA designation. Please talk to your nurse instructor about any questions you may have about maintaining it once you obtain your Ohio STNA designation.

Question 3

What are the Dress Code and COVID Requirements?

Accepted Answer

The dress code is NAVY scrubs or a combination of Navy and White. We offer our t-shirts for sale, $15/each (cash only), which may be worn in the classroom but are not allowed to be worn at clinicals or for state testing.

The clinical sites we use are not currently requiring proof of vaccines or exemptions.

Question 4

What are the Attendance and Cell Phone Policies?

Accepted Answer

Our policies are SUPER STRICT regarding attendance and use of cell phones during class and clinical time. About a week before your assigned class is to start, you will receive a detailed email with the in-depth attendance and cell phone policies in it. When you come to pick up your materials, you will be asked to sign the policies, ensuring you understand these policies.

In short, you CANNOT miss ANY PART of the first 16 hours of class, or you must re-start the class. You are not ever permitted to be even 1 minute late to class, clinicals, or returning from any breaks.

Cell phones are NOT permitted during ANY PART of classroom or clinical time. Cell phones can be used during OFFICIAL BREAKS ONLY.  To choose to use a cell phone at ANY point in the program when it is not an official break time WILL result in expulsion from the class- NO EXCEPTIONS.

Anyone expelled from a class must re-pay to take a new seat in a new class.
