In short
- Every job has a written job description. Sign yours and ask your supervisor if anything is unclear.
- Nurses and therapists must hold a current Georgia license (or a recognized multistate license) to work.
- Finish orientation before your first visit, and do not do a task alone until your competency has been checked.
- Go to your in-service training. Aides need at least 12 hours every year.
- Your work is evaluated after 90 days and every year after that.
