Roll with the punches.....

Help, I am studying for the CNA certification in Florida. I have never been paid for taking care of anyone. I never left home, in 1982 my father had a couple of strokes. I assisted my Mom take care of my father. In March my Mom passed away. I lost my job as a licensed journeyman electrician in 2009. It was a blessing, because I was able to care for my Mom. I knew her time on this earth was ending. Mom suffered from pulmonary hypertension. I have 29 years of experience taking care of my parents. Will consideration be given for my experience? Actually, I was paid with knowledge. I believe I have a calling for nursing, and hope to enroll in the LPN program at the local college. I think that my experience is valuable, can someone give me some advice?

I was arrested in 1998 and charged with aggrevated assault with a deadly weapon. The court withheld adjudication. I was in a altercation with two men so I grabbed a louieville slugger to even the odds. I did not hurt anyone but myself! I am thinking of pursuing a lpn. Will I be able to find a job? Any help would be appreciated.
