Coursework relates to the following healthcare topics: nurse aide roles, communication,
interpersonal skills, basic nursing skills, mental health, social services, legal issues, safety &
security, signs & symptoms of disease, aging, death & dying, hygiene, grooming, and mobility.
In addition to classroom-based training, you will have a “hands on” clinical experience. Upon
successful completion of our class, students receive a certificate, and this qualifies all students to
take the State Tested Nurse’s Aide examination. This examination is administered at our school.
The Ohio Department of Health requires that students complete a minimum of 59 classroom
hours and 16 clinical hours for a total of 75 hours. If any class time is missed due to an
emergency, arrangements must be made to make up the hours at the instructor’s discretion. If the
hours missed are not due to a verifiable emergency or too many hours are missed then the student
will be asked to leave the class and restart with the next session
