My thought? First thing...post a coherent message. Then maybe someone can respond. "I want to do nursing think I do part of me wants to do occupational therapy asst." ?????

My heart tell go for the lpn degree but I was curious about Occupational therapist asst. But after weighting the pros and cons think I going for the lpn I love being a cna and think the LPN would be a better fit for me plus in this state Oklahoma a little over a year you can graduate and start working. I am not looking to be the boss just looking to be a nurse.

Bruce, I'm going to be brutally honest here. There is no way you are going to get through nursing school and pass the national licensing exam unless your English language skills improve greatly.

My strong suggestion would be to find a good ESL course in your area; community colleges are usually a good place to start the search. Once you have a better command of English, you'll have more opportunities for furthering your education.

Nursing is extremely competitive and without this basic skill you won't make it.

Good luck.

There is nothing wrong with being a CNA. We need good caregivers.

I know what your saying. I was half asleep didn't put much into the comment. I have way better writing skills then the one I posted sorry. Thank you for the suggestions.

Hey man it is all good. Just take the time to write in a more professional manner. Especially when you are inquiring about a career. If you are emailing schools it is very important to take the time to do it professionally. Do what you want and remember..attention to detail...HUGE part of any medical career. The little "things" matter. Good luck!

I know this I just want to be a LPN

For what it's worth, the COTAs I have known over the years have been a lot happier about being COTAs than most of the RNs, LPNs, and CNAs I have known have been about being RNs, LPNs, or CNAs.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I decided that yesterday. I am going for COTA

:devil:Who dares to make mistakes on this sacred forum where only the most intelligent beings roam free? How dare he not form complete sentences on this public forum? To the dungeon!

By the way, I made some corrections.

Hello, everything will be fine. You should take the time to write in a professional manner. This is especially important when you are inquiring about a career. If you are emailing schools, then it is very important to take the time to do it professionally. Do what you want and remember to pay attention to detail. It is an important part of healthcare. The little "things" do matter. Good luck! (windsurfer8, 2014).

As a person who spent the majority of his or her week writing academic papers, I could not restrain myself from making corrections to your post. I will be leaving now. I have a ten page assignment to get started on.
