Butler Tech reduces nursing tuition

Butler Tech has reduced the tuition of its State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) program by nearly $200.

The 79-hour program now costs $699 — including testing — down from $895 previously, said spokesman Bill Solazzo. The course is Butler Tech’s largest part-time program at the D. Russel Lee campus, 3603 Hamilton Middletown Road, Hamilton.

“At Butler Tech, we recognize that times are tough and every dollar that a potential student can save, helps,” said Cheryl Brackman, executive director of the adult education programming.

Butler Tech graduates more than 150 STNAs each year, and the program is also a prerequisite to Butler Tech’s practical nursing program, according to Brackman.

“STNA continues to be a high-demand career field that has additional growth opportunity,” said Aunja-Leis Bishop, job development coordinator and counselor at Butler Tech.

Butler Tech, founded in 1975, is Ohio’s second largest career-technical school district. They serve more than 27,000 adult students and high school and junior high students from 10 associated school districts in Butler and Hamilton counties.
