Depends on where you work as an LVN...SOME LVNs make 24 an hour....

i live out here in ca, la.... all job postings i see are 14 hr? is it a good career choice?

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.

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.
