Hello everyone! I am currently taking classes at my community college in Santa Maria ca and I am going back and forth between a trade school for $20000 to get my Lvn in 12 months called Gurnick academy of medical arts or if I should wait the two+ years on a wait list at the various community colleges in my area but for almost nothing money wise. I'm 20 years old currently working as a CNA and My ultimate goal is to be a school LVN. I also know I want to do cosmetology on the side but I'm confused on where to start. I still need some prerequisites for the community college programs. I just don't know if cosmetology school is a good idea before nursing school and which nursing school I should do.. Also, can I survive off LVN salary here in Santa Maria ca? I just want to start and get my careers going! Input if greatly appreciated thank you:)
