GREENVILLE — Edison State Community College will host State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) training beginning on Oct. 28.

This course provides students with local classroom and clinical training led by experienced instructors and allows them to begin working as an STNA in a few short weeks.

The course will run from Oct. 28 to Nov. 14, with classes taking place Oct. 28-31, Nov. 4-7, and Nov. 11-14 from 4 to 9 p.m. Students will complete clinicals on Nov. 9 and 10 from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The classroom and clinical education will take place at the Brethren Retirement Community, 750 Chestnut St., Greenville.

The demand for STNAs is high locally and across the state. Students who complete this training can find job opportunities with hospitals, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home health care providers. Additionally, many nursing schools in Ohio require applicants to complete STNA training as a program prerequisite.

Students must meet certain requirements to participate in the class and clinical. Learn more and register by visiting www.edisonohio.edu/STNA.
