Are you a patient and friendly individual? Do you enjoy caring for others? Then being a home health aide is a great way for you to see if the healthcare field is for you!

Many jobs have been put on hold due to the Coronavirus, so now is the time to consider a new career opportunity. You never know you may love it even more than your old one!

As a bonus jobs in this field are projected to increase at a much faster rate than the average of all occupations! They are always in demand, especially now with the Coronavirus epidemic.

Here are some of the requirements you need to meet to get started which can take just 4 weeks:

-Complete 75 hours of training, including at least 16 hours of supervised practical or clinical training and 12 hours of continuing education per a 12-month period.

-Pass a certification exam. Some states certify you immediately after you pass the exam. Other states ask you to submit the paperwork (whether hard copies or electronic files) and then notify you if you’re cleared to work.

Each state adheres to the Federal law for training and many states may require additional training. So it’s important to look into your state’s specific training requirements and information!
