I am a 22 yr old mother of a 4 yr old boy. When I was 17, my senior yr, I took the CNA class to start toward my career in Nursing. I have been a CNA since 07 and I am just fed up. A CNA is the hardest thing in the world and we just dont deserve to be treated as we are. I have tried and tried to move forward but I just dont know were to start. I have looked into other careers but I have my mind set on being a Nurse and helping people. I have soo many options and I am soo overwhelmed. I just want to be a good mom and make the right decisions for me and my son. I feel that I am not setting a good example because I am 22 with no Degree. I recently decided that I am going to go ahead and do the LVN then transition to the RN. I have my mind and my heart set on that decision but I do not know were to start. I dont know if I should keep working as a CNA and take the med aide class then move to a LVN program or if I should do the LVN program. Should I apply for LVN programs? Should I just get experience as Med Aide then apply to some LVN programs? Were should I apply? Any feedback is highly appreciated!
