9. New here...need advice

   Jillian257 replied to adge's topic in General Nursing

   As the previous poster stated, it depends on your goal. I personally got my LPN first and am now doing an LPN-RN program at a community college. To be honest, if your goal is to be a nurse I would go for the LPN first instead of a CNA because LPN's g...
