I'd say a CNA position sucks far worse. You have to wipe multiple butts all day/night long, and you never stop running the whole shift in many cases. Home health aides make the same to more money, and they only have one client. The one who took care of my grandma watched TV or studied while my grandma slept (which was a lot).

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/au0GR
Here is California's nursing board's site, you can contact them for specifics. I don't live in California, but in my experience, CNAs are trained slightly more then HHAs. CNAs usually provide care in a nursing home / hospital and assist residents with daily care (toileting showering, feeding, etc) while HHAs usually do things like helping people at home to shop, prepare meals, ensure they take their medicines (but don't actually dispense meds). This is not to say that some places only hire CNAs to do home health, just that the amount of trainig is usually a bit less for HHAs than CNAs. I used to be a CNA, in a nursing home and hospital.

Okay I never said I was nice but come on. I work as a home health aide and at a hospital setting. The pay rate for home health aide wear I work is $12.00 thats the max. For hospital you can make up to $16 depends on how good you are. I like the hospital setting. I don't wipe people's butts that much. People can do it them selves most of the time. Its not that big of a deal if you have to spray something in the air they provide things like that at the hospital so it not that bad. You get on your feet more unless your dam lazy then you should not go for nurse cause there on there feet alot too. So you should get up and try something new even the assisting living places pay up to $14.

I am the mother of a child who receives benefits including a home health aide. I would say a home health aide is the better of the two, but if you're going to make this long term I would suggest working as home health aide and going back to school for your nursing degree. The gentleman who is currently our home health aide is wonderful. He works around his school schedule (he's getting his masters in environmental engineering of all things!!) and we've told him he can bring any reading or school work to do while our son is otherwise occupied.
I also worked for a home health agency myself prior to my youngest being born and then I had to stay home with him. Working as a CNA for a home health organization could work for you too, it just depends on your time and what really want to accomplish. If you want to get paid per visit and squeeze in as many clients/patients as possible and determine your own schedule then this job would work for you. But if what you want is to have maybe 2 patients a day and really get involved with their lives and their family then home health aide is the way to go.

In my area, a CNA is a week or 2 week training class, and is the lowest paid staff. You should enter the LPN program, for better positions and pay, while you can study for your BA to get your RN license.

my cna's gets about 2-4 dollars an hour more.
its better to work for hospitals (not nursing homes),. work for a hospital, find out if you really like that job, get an RN degree(sponsored by that hospital of course). pass the RN board,
start at 50k / year. i own an rn agency that has a reserve payroll of 2k a week for every RN i source out to hospitals. 2k /week, sounds very good, doesnt it?
