Hey, everybody. I've tried to search for an answer to my question in old threads, but haven't really found what I'm looking for. I'm enrolled in an STNA training class starting in a couple of weeks. I've been searching for jobs on the internet in the meantime. I see jobs for both STNA and CNA. Are these the same thing in Ohio? If not, is one "better" than the other (would a facility prefer to hire one over the other?) I really love this forum. Everybody seems so nice and helpful. Hopefully somebody will help me. THANK YOU!! :loveya: 0 Likes
geoffreyg Specializes in RN in LTC. Aug 21, 2007 I'm in Akron, and I had the same question before "STNA" classes. The DON at my LTC facility, said that what Ohio calls STNA is called CNA in most other states, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary in my extensive 8 months of experience. So, I believe that they are the same thing. Hope that helps.gg 0 Likes
