CNA to LVN/RN? will a hospital put their employe's through nursing school?

[pushing4success]

Ok I need help. So it has always been my dream to become a nurse, however, programs in houston tx are EXTREMELY competetive to get into and the bluntness of my lonestar advisors can be very discouraging:down: with money being tight and inconsistant minimum wage jobs, I have decided to start cna classes :) I know a couple ppl here in houston who make about $12 per hour hired at hospitals with no experience!! and that is good for now. I started monday and will finish in about 5 weeks. Does anyone know anyone who went to nursing school through a hospital they worked for? Houston has a HUGE medical center downtown with many hospitals, im just curious if anyone has went this route to their nursing careers lvn lpn or rn, thanks!!
