Overview

This training lasts approximately 5 weeks and meets Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

To enroll in the course, participants must complete a background check and pass a one-step TB test.

The course, approved by Ohio Department of Health, introduces students to the principles and procedures of basic patient care through both classroom and clinical experience. An average of 80 percent or higher is required on quizzes and the final exam, as well as 100 percent attendance, is required to complete the classroom section of the course and proceed to the clinical rotation.

Upon successful completion of this training, participants will be eligible to sit for the Ohio nurse aide exam. After passing both the written and skills portion of the state exam, students will meet employment qualifications required by many long-term care, home health care, clinic and hospital facilities.
