The best way to start a career in the medical field today is to become a nurse aide. A nurse aide/nursing aide/nursing assistant is an individual who gets paid to perform routine and simple nursing tasks to the patients while under the supervision of a nurse or a member of the medical staff. Since a nursing aide mainly works with a nurse, it is the nurses who are the ones who will delegate the tasks that the nursing aide should do. These tasks may include taking the vital signs, assisting in eating, bathing, dressing, and other daily activities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for this job is expected to still increase through 2016.
This is a very practical career choice since the training is well quick and is well compensated once you find work. According to studies, the mean hourly wage that a nursing assistant makes is $11.46, making their annual salary around $20,200 to $28,700.Training programs for this profession are offered by different institutions and an aspiring nursing aide may already start working for a licensed nursing facility while under training. If you are able to find work within 1 year from your certification, your employer will reimburse you for your expenses if you qualify.
Training programs in Ohio last only for up to 2 months. To complete the program, you must meet the required 75 hours of training that was mandated by the Federal Law. Your training will consist of 59 hours spent for practical training at an actual clinical setting, and 16 hours doing classroom instructions. If you are unable to complete the 75 hours because you missed some classes, you are given 60 days to complete it.
You are only considered as a full-fledged nursing aide if your name is on the Nurse Aide Registry and has an active status. To get your name entered, you will have to pass the competency evaluation exam after completing your training. For CNAs from other states who wish to work in Ohio, they may apply directly to the Registry through reciprocity.
You can contact the Ohio Department of Health Nurse Aide Registry for further details about qualification required to gain access to a license at:
