l EARNit!, LLC

I am Karen Wamback owner/operator of l EARNit!, LLC I am a wife, mother, grandmother, dog mom and NURSE.

Nursing, especially as it relates to educating our first line in patient-centered care, has been my passion for a number of years. I was trained as a CNA (after a 6-week training course) in Indiana and worked as one for many years. In 2001, I met my husband and became a "transplanted Ohioan". Experience: STNA, LPN and RN...am presently pursuing my master's degree. Certifications: BSN, TTT certified, BLS CPR instructor.


During my years in various facilities, it became increasingly apparent that a 2-week (75 hr) training course is not sufficient to prepare the student to confidently assume the responsibilities as assigned to a STNA, My curriculum will include (72 hr) classroom/lab and a (32 hr) clinical experience in 4 weeks-29 hours beyond State requirement.

Graduates of I EARNit! will be technically skilled, self-confident, proud of the excellence they exhibit working with and for the residents entrusted to them, and an asset to their employers.

In regards to those for whom we care, they will internalize the mantra: "They don't live in our work place, we work in their homes”!!
