I'm trying to decide if I should become an LPN/LVN.
I live in Naperville, Illinois and know that I only want to work in a hospital setting in either Chicago or in or around Naperville.
I'm doing a bit of research before making the financial and time commitment. If you feel comfortable answering these questions, I would love to hear back from you.
Do you work in a hospital? Which one? How many years of experience do you have? What is your hourly wage or annual salary? Do you like where you work? Does your hospital offer its part-time LPNs/LVNs full benefits (such as medical coverage)?
Thanks so much for your time. Your answsers will help me decide if I will go forward. I'm just beginning my CNA course the day after tomorrow.
