I've looked through the majority of threads and couldn't really find what I'm looking for. I'm 24 and live in Houston. I would really like to get into the medical field, nursing etc. I'm not sure how to go about it. I will start from the bottom and work myself up, but I can't find any good and accredited information on how to start. I was told that within a few weeks/month you can be qualified for LPN or LVN and get your foot in the door and then just work yourself up. Is that really possible? If so, I would love to know how to do it, because I've been searching for months and I've found next to nothing.
I know this is a lot to ask, but can you guys assist me in finding the right direction to start with? I figured people in the industry would know a lot more than I do. I appreciate all the help I can get. I'm in a job profession at the moment that I hate and I'm miserable doing it, and I don't want to keep jumping to different things when it's not somehthing I will ever enjoy.
Thank you very much!
