Nursing Career - Where to start?

Hello,

I am interested in a career in nursing, primarily in geriatrics, hospice or a nursing home. I have absolutely no medical experience (well, not with people, only in a veterinarian setting) and don't know how to begin. I have gone online to look at my different career options (nurse assistant, LPN, CN...) but am not sure what order I proceed in. The advice given to me was to become an LPN first to ensure that I enjoy the job. Is this sound advice? Also, I will be moving from Colorado to Michigan in two years. Should I wait to start school until I am Michigan (I hate to wait two years but I remember the hassle I went through when I transferred to another college in the same state - A whole semester worth of classes didn't transfer and it took me that much longer to get my BA).

Any advice on how to start? I have also emailed a few colleges but they seem more intent on getting me to enroll then handing out advice.

Thank you,

Jeanie
