Specializes in Home health care, CNA (nursing home).

If you are going into nursing just for the money, since both of your posts stress the point that you wonder if you should pursue a career as a LVN and you state that the going rate in that area is $14.00, maybe you should re-think your decision and go into a different field. That is just my 2 cents.:twocents:

Medical billing can be a difficult profession to break into. Plus, it's long and tedious with extreme patience and attention-to-detail required. Two entirely different positions, by the way. To me, medical billing is absolutely boring, much like medical transcription. I don't know how medical transcriptions do it, man. I would lose my mind in no more than one week of work.
