State Testing

Once you pass your Ohio state test, you should be able to locate your license information at the website below:

https://odhgateway.odh.ohio.gov/nar/nar_registry_search.aspx

Please note the expiration of your STNA designation so that you ensure you complete all the requirements PRIOR to expiration. You also want to make sure your employer reports your hours worked under a licensed nurse or physician to the state on your behalf. Remember: you need to work one 8-hour shift in the 24 month period AND complete 24 hours of continuing education (12 units per year) if you work in a skilled long term care facility or meet the annual training, per policy, of any other organization for which you work (typically 8+ hours per year for a total of 16+ hours) AND YOU must ensure your employer reports your information to the state in order to maintain your state license for the state of Ohio. Please talk to your nurse instructor about any questions you may have about maintaining it once you obtain your Ohio STNA designation.
