Any idea of going pay rate in Georgia? I'm going to relocate there once I finish school

I live in New Jersey and the agency I work for is named Loving Care agency. I think they're based out of other states too but I'm not sure what others. Just be sure home care is a field you want to get into, it's very different from being in a facility. Hope this helps

So I started the HHA training. I told the director of the agency that I could only work part time because I'll be going to school full time for LPN, she told me as soon as I complete the LPN program and get licensed she will send me to their office where they do LPM training for the agency and get me started working as an LPN for the agency. I was so excited when I heard that! So glad I made the choice to do this

Yeah I know most places require 1 year of experience. I did some research on the agency I'm going to be working at and found out they are known for hiring new grad LPN's which is one reason why I selected them.

LuckyLexie1313, Trust me I have taken everything you've said into consideration. Realistically I'm only going to be able to do hha work on the weekends and I'm don't plan on working every week as I have a family to take care of and I know this LPN Program is going to be very intense. I would love to be in a facility when I become a LPN but I guess I'm just trying to have a back up plan by getting in homecare because I see a lot of people in these forums who are new grad's with no experience and having difficulty finding a job. This is a career change for me and I'm nervous about it but excited at the same time. Thank you so much for your candid insight its very helpful

I was wondering how do you become licenced in another state? I currently live in NJ and will be begining a LPN program soon. Once completed (God Willing) I'd like be start working in pediatric homecare for at least a year or two. Aftwards my husband and I will most likely be relocating to Atlanta. I know I'm thinking ahead I know but I know I should be licensed in GA before looking for a job there but what would I have to do to become licensed in another state?

I'm in the process of a career change. I will be starting a 15 month LPN program in New Jersey in July. While doing the program I'm going to be working as a home health aide, I thought this might help me to find a LPN job once I'm finished school. Hopefully being a hha with patient care experience will help and maybe even get me an LPN position thru the same home care agency. Do any of you think this is a good move and have any of you had a similar experience? If so I would love to hear the outcome and any advice any of you have to offer. Thanks!
