In the state of Ohio, a STNA or commonly known as a CNA is still a nursing assistant student that is enrolled in a training program that prepares you to take the state certification exams. In the state of Ohio they refer to their certified or licensed nursing assistants as “state-trained nursing assistants.” A STNA becomes certified to work and placed on the registry of eligible candidates for the job if they a state approved training course, take the license exams and pass.
One of the requirements to become a nursing aide in Ohio is to pass the license exams after completing a state-approved 75 hour training class. To be accepted into a class, the applicant must have a high school diploma, by physically capable of taking care of the residents, and pass the background checks for criminal records. Students who are employed under a licensed-health care facility are required an additional TB testing must be done before starting work.
In the Ohio, there is a “four month grace period”. This period allows an individual who is not yet on the state’s Nurse Aide Registry to work as a nursing aide and provide to the residents nursing aide care under the supervision or registered nurses. The grace period is cumulative and will count every day that the individual works as a nursing aide period.
A healthcare facility may count a nursing aide trainee in meeting the staffing requirements if the trainee has completed the first 16 hours of an approved training course; is working under the supervision of a registered nurse; or is competent in providing nursing aide work. During this time, the trainee is still under the grace period and must still pass the license exams in order to work long-term.
The license exams consist of a written and a skills evaluation to determine the knowledge and skills of the trainees. This is to determine if they are able to provide the necessary standard of care that is expected of them. Every applicant is given 3 attempts to pass all the tests. If the trainee fails, he will be required to retrain before retesting. Keep in mind that the state will not give another grace period if the applicant fails the exams three times.
