Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

When may a health care provider employ a student as a nurse aide?

1. After completing 32 hours of clinical training

2. Immediately upon enrollment in the training program

3. After the student passes a final exam

4. After the student completes 16 hours of classroom training and is a full-time permanent employee

The correct answer is: After the student completes 16 hours of classroom training and is a full-time permanent employee

A healthcare provider may employ a student as a nurse aide after the student completes 16 hours of classroom training and is a full-time permanent employee because this option ensures that the student has received a foundational level of training in the classroom before beginning practical work as a nurse aide. This helps to guarantee that the student has the necessary knowledge and skills to perform the duties required in a healthcare setting. The other options do not address the completion of both classroom and practical training required for a student to be eligible to work as a nurse aide in a healthcare facility.
