Hello everyone!
Just wanted to get advice or insight from someone that is actually a recent(1-4yr) grad LPN now working and wasn't a CNA prior. Recent working LPN will give me a better outlook, because you are the one whom might have had difficulty finding work in this recession.
Reason for my questioning is beacause I'm in the process of applying/entering a LPN program. CNA isn't required for any, but I've been under the impression that it will help in the long run of getting a job. I really don't want to do CNA, because I currently work and have been on my job for 14 years. I can't really get use to the idea of quiting my job to do something I really don't desire and making way less than what I currently do. I have already taking a CNA class and am waiting to be test, so I will if it is beneficial for me in the future.
I don't want to waiste time, money, or effort where it isn't needed.
I know it all depend on what state one is in (FL), I just wanna know that I do have a possibility of getting work after I complete LPN, even if I wasn't a CNA.
Thanks in advance for insight that you may be able to offer, greatly appreciated!
