Home Health Nurse Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a home health nurse in California?
You become a home health nurse in California by first earning a nursing degree, either an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, then passing the NCLEX-RN exam and applying for licensure through the California Board of Registered Nursing. Once licensed, most employers require at least one year of clinical experience in an acute or post-acute setting before hiring into home health roles, since the work is largely autonomous and patient acuity can be high.
How much do home health nurses make in California?
Home health nurses in California earn a median of about $140,270 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,260 for the lowest 10% to over $213,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire home health nurses in California?
Employers hiring home health nurses in California right now include 21st Century Home Health Services, Care First Home Health Care, and Matrix Medical Network, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. California's size and its large Medi-Cal population mean that both national home health agencies and regional nonprofit health systems maintain ongoing home health nurse openings throughout the state.
Which California cities have the most home health nurse jobs?
San Diego, Los Angeles, and Fresno have the most home health nurse openings in California right now. Los Angeles dominates because of its sheer population size and the concentration of large health systems and specialized home health agencies serving its diverse communities, while the Bay Area and San Diego attract openings through major integrated care networks that manage high volumes of complex, medically fragile patients in home settings.
Are there remote home health nurse jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Home health nursing is a hands-on, in-person role by nature, so most positions require travel to patient homes across an assigned territory. About 25% of home health nurse openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those postings typically involve telephonic case management, care coordination, or utilization review rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a home health nurse in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is completing at least one year in an acute care or skilled nursing facility role first, since California home health employers rarely hire directly from school. Large California systems like Kaiser Permanente and Dignity Health run new-graduate residency programs in med-surg and telemetry that build the autonomous clinical judgment home health requires. From there, lateral moves from hospital discharge planning or case management roles are common entry points, and holding a California RN license plus a home health aide background strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to home health nurse jobs in California?
You can find and apply to home health nurse jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from home health agencies, health systems, and hospice organizations across the state. Find the roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
