What are the Requirements to Become a Home Health Nurse?
To become a home health nurse, one must first become a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). This typically involves completing a nursing program, passing the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN exam, and obtaining state licensure. Additional certifications in home health care or geriatric nursing can be beneficial and sometimes required by employers. Practical experience in a hospital or clinical setting is also highly valuable.
