Hey there Rookie. I got my WCC through WCEI, cost was reasonable since here in GA the certification is for 5 years. But you must have 2 years of active wound care and be a LPN for 5, so as for the setting HOME HEALTH, the job is very satisfying and here in GA the money is GREAT. I would suggest at least a year or two on a med surge floor of your local hospital or an acute care facility. Good Luck. BTW ther is the link for the WCEI. https://www.wcei.net/. The very best of luck to you. LJ Russell LPNWCC
