Today I had the unfortunate opportunity to have been informed of yet another student who, having taken STNA classes in Columbus Ohio, was sent home after arriving to take their STNA state exam in non-clinical attire. We inform all of our instructors of day, evening, night, and weekend STNA classes at our training program to communicate to their students that they must be in clinical attire when arriving to take the skills and/or written or portion of their STNA state examination. Some students have the mistaken notion that they only have to be in uniform if they have the skills portion of the test to take where in fact they have to be in uniform for the written part as well even if it's the only part that they're taking. This is stated on the D&S Diversified postcard sent to each student when confirming their state test date. Each student, prior to arriving at the examination site, should thoroughly read this postcard in its entirety. If you find yourself in this unfortunate scenario you will have to repay and reschedule for the part of the test for which you had originally scheduled. I strongly urge schools that teach STNA classes in Columbus Ohio and CNA classes in the other parts of the US to advise their students of the rules accordingly so that their students are not left in this situation.
