STNA training class at Bath Manor

i actually got my STNA last july. I took the classes at Bath Manor. It's a very easy course, though some of it seems very boring and unnecessary! the state test is offered at Bath Manor though, it was good to feel comfortable in the classroom on the day of the state test. i passed the first time with no problems.

ps. even if you do get accepted to kent's program, you could work as an STNA while in school and it also provides a good background and skills for nursing school. Good Luck!

yes, they do charge. i couldn't find a place that didn't charge. the early-bird fee was $450, the regular one $500. It will also cost you to take the state test. It was $96 last summer, i doubt it has changed. i'm working at Edwin Shaw PRN (on-call, no set schedule) right now. its usually very difficult to get into the hospitals, but you can do everything else with your STNA.

i'm really not sure what the average wage is for an stna in akron. i suppose it depends on where you work (LTC facility, home health, hospital). i would try calling places you're interested in and asking.

i was in the may class last year and i wore scrubs that i had bought, mostly at walmat. you can wear prints or solids.

the class was very easy, to the point that i felt like i was wasting my time for the majority of the duration. we had some days where we were only in the classroom and some mixed between the classroom and the floor. there is a day or two towards the end of the class that you more or less shadow an aide on the floor and one day when you have a patient or two to take care of virtually on your own (very easy, don't stress). the majority of the information/skill is very common-sense based. good luck with it!! (if you have any questions about the state test, let me know)
