Greetings! My name is Larry and am in my early 40's aand have been through two open heart procedures as well as many catheter ablations. My problem has been resolved. After witnessing the skill and compassion of the nursing professionals, I have decided to make a career change. My plan is to start as a CNA, then obtain Phlebotomy certification, and then to LPN. My CNA training begins next week and I am very excited. My question is this an efficient method to begin my career? Money is an issue and I would like to begin working as a Nurse Assistant with additional training as time allows. Thanks!
