STNA Classes Euclid, OH

An STNA is a valued member of the healthcare team who plays a significant role in ensuring patients obtain the quality of care they need. STNAs are highly skilled professionals who assist residents with the activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, oral care and grooming, toileting, eating, and mobility. Working closely with registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, STNAs might perform other duties including measuring vital signs, observing patients and reporting concerns, answering call lights, and assisting with rehabilitative treatments. Since they provide the first line of care and spend the most time with patients, nursing assistants relay important concerns to their supervisors.

To function in this demanding role, you must enroll in an STNA training program to obtain the knowledge and clinical skills to provide bedside care under the supervision of a licensed nurse. Ohio’s STNA classes deliver a minimum of 75 instructional hours in the classroom and clinical site. Graduates must take the state competency test to be added to the Nurse Aide Registry. STNAs work in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, home health care, assisted living facilities, and hospice to promote physical and emotional well being and help patients or residents regain their independence.
