Hospital based LPN training?

[Solomon24]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site, so if my questions have already been asked I apologize. I did look through some of the questions posted, but didn't see my quesitons.

I'm very interested in a career change after working in the legal field for nearly 20-years. I would love to become an LPN/RN. At this point, I'm only interestd in hospital based training programs such as "earn while you learn" type programs or even signing a contract agreeing to work for the hospital for a designated period to pay back the expense of the training.

So, does anyone know of any hospital-based "earn while you learn" training programs for LPN/RN's? I currently live in the Knoxville TN area, but I'm willing to move just about anywhere within the US to get quality training. I have searched online, but have found only 1 hospital based training program & I have heard it is being eliminated due to budget cuts.

I'm definitely not interested in going to college/university & having enormous financial/educational loans to pay off once I graduate. I've done that before & have no interest in doing it again. I appreciate any help or o0advice anyone can offer! Thanks in advance & God bless!
