If you were a CNA did your job let you promote to LVN/LPN after school?

So I was recently hired for a very large acute long term care facility. They hired me as a CNA and asked if I was continuing with school and I told them my plan was to complete my LVN and from there move on. They said they were supportive of this process. I want to believe them, especially since I start school in February. Have any of you gone through this process? Did your facility support your decision to continue your education? What should I expect as I begin this process? Thank you!

I worked as a CNA in an acute care hospital. I was not able to get hired as an LVN there. But the experience still benefitted me, I feel. It made my resume stand out and gave me experience.
