hello, did you start at lincoln tech? i graduated from there in june 2011. it was a good program but it's expensive. it's really hard for lpn's with no experience. i wish i would've taken the advice of nurse and gained some experience in the medical field before i did the lpn program. i was more concerned about the potential salary as a lpn so i didn't want to start as a cna or chha. some places will give you a change but the want at least one year experience. i think that if i would've had at least a year experience as a cna, i would be in a much better position. i could have at least said i worked in nursing home or something to get my foot in the door. it's really, really, hard to find a job. lincoln tech does have real "job assistance placement".
