I live in the Cleveland area, where can I go for stna training? I have tried calling nursing homes, etc and have been unsuccessful. The soonest class starts in February. Thanks

Have you looked at any local community colleges? Sometimes they have training classes too. That's where I'm taking mine (it's a requirement for my ADN).
If all else fails contact:
Dept of Hlth NA Registry
PO Box 118
Columbus OH 43266
(800) 582-5908-Ohio only
(614) 752-8285
If you call them, they should be able to tell you where training classes are located in your area.

Check with the American Red Cross. Someone told me that they offer an STNA class at one of the chapters in Cleveland.

the way it seems is a lot of the ltc facilities have stopped doing the classes only because of the astronomical rate of people that take the classes and quit on them threfore really losing out on the money in the end the best advice I can think of is try to contact you local adult education schools and see if they might offer the class I know they do here in mansfield so I am sure they would in a bigger city

Not sure where exactly you are located, but the Good Samaritan Home in Avon offers classes periodically, you could check with them.
Also Lorain County Community College in Elyria offers classes, but the next round of classes probably won't begin until January 18th when the new semester begins, but the classes run about 3 1/2 weeks.
Good luck in your search.

local home health agencies may offer stna training as well; also, if you are past your first set of clinicals as a nursing student, you can take the state test to be an stna.

I used to teach classes like that at facilities and yes it was not worth the money to provide the class. You think people might want to stay and work there but in reality most of the leave.

Try looking in the Sunday paper in the employment section... I scope it out every week to see what openings there are for STNA's because I am taking my class at my community college (it's a prereq)..and along with job openings I always see ad's to take the classes. Hope this helps, and good luck!
