3. Home Health Aide Requires You to Know How to Drive

   tazmom replied to sebig001's topic in CNA/MA

   I work as a HHA and don't drive at all. I take public transportation and walk to my client's homes. I will not transport people in my private car if I have one. Too much liability if something happens.

    you don't get credits by having your associate's degree, have to have your RN license and they will take that. As long as your license is in good standing, that's how it works in West Virginia and PA.
