Thank you Cuddleswithpuddles for your reply, In my area its clear to see the higher demand for RN rather than LVN. However, I was simply considering LVN as a stepping stone to eventually obtaining my RN. My goals are rather simple. I enjoy working with people. And I thought to myself, "what could I do as a career that would allow me to work with a variety of personalities, as well as provide some kind of help to comfort or all around well being?" Medical! OK, now what could I see myself doing that would be rewarding to oneself. Nursing! I understand that Nurses go unappreciated and rarely receive any recognition for the services they give. That's NOT why I want to be in the medical field. And it's NOT the pay..though I can appreciate the fact that I could better provide for my Family. NO, it's I want to do something that makes a difference in a positive way. As corny as it sounds, "I want to help"

Good morning, I currently have my C.N.A cert. I have had the Cert since I was 18, I'm 33 now. I've worked as a CNA, however I always felt I wanted to do more in the medical field. Unfortunately I never went back to school to further my career in the medical field. Now, more than ever I feel ready. I DO NOT have any prerequisites for the LVN program. I live near Visalia, CA and I know of SJVC and the Visalia Adult School having the LVN program. Any advice or suggestions as to what I should do. I will very much have to utilize some type of financial aid services due to working part time. Thank you in advance to those willing to answer my post.
