I am a 21 year old male looking to become an LPN/LVN. My mother is an RN and after speaking with her i've come to understand this is a very competitive field. To make a long story short, I've taken college placement tests and my math is very poor... will this affect me trying to get into an lpn program? Basically this is where i'm at... i'm 21 with a GED, i have no prior work experiance in the healthcare field, I have no clue how to even begin the process of becoming an LPN (although my mother is an RN she is very little help). Am i just kidding myself? Should i just look into doing something else before i even get started? Is it even possible for someone in my position to become an lpn/lvn? All responses are greatly appreciated!
