Mississippi LPN's (Questions?)

I am in Mississippi and applying to the LPN program here, and I am trying to locate anyone who has received their LPN in this state.
I desperately am looking for someone who can tell me if it is possible to go through the HInds Program and also work as a CNA for the year long program.
I also have questions about CNA pay and where to get certified. I need to work while I'm in school for retirement with the State System Peers?
If you are not in MISS. and would have advice or if you've experienced working while in LPN school....please respond

Thank You
