Criminal Background Offenses and the STNA

The types of offenses (plead guilty or convicted) which would disqualify a nurse aide from working in a long term care facility may be found in a list of disqualifying offenses found in the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3701-13-05.

A nurse aide may or may not be eligible to work as an aide in a long term care facility after pleading guilty or being convicted of an offense listed in the Ohio
Administrative Code (OAC) 3701-13-05 depending on that particular facility's decision and the hiring manager's interpretation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the conviction.

So, the decision to hire or not to hire is a matter for the prospective employer. The Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3701-13-06 can be used as a guideline in the facility's decision to hire a nurse aide who has plead guilty or been convicted of a listed offense.

  1. When the suspension of a STNA liscense has expired, after pleading guilty of Theft as a misdeameanor and it's non-violent, are there any restrictions on the liscense?
