Thanks for all you replies. Took the test today and it was actually HARD a lot harder than I expected. It didnt seem to be like the NET test that was described. So if it is meant to be, it will be. I am leaning toward the LPN route, if I do pass this test this is the way I will go. I am applying to a local community college here. They are affiliated with allied health. The hospitals here arent hiring LPNs anymore either, except in OB, which would be fine with me! I used to teach childbirth classes and do labor support so that will be right up my alley. I do like the hospital I am currently working for, however having an LPN gives me a wider range of options than just having my cna. That is all way down the road however...I have to pass this test first! Thanks again for all the replies!
