As of now, I have been a CNA for over a year and quickly realizing that this is a dead end job. I personally don't seeing my self advancing at my job and personally it's a little depressing. A lot of the CNAs around me have been looking into becoming LPNs and that seems to be the trend around there, but personally i'm having doubts about following the trends. I've doing some research and just find it hard to come to a decision. So far I've narrowed it down to Registered Respiratory Therapist, Surgical Technologist, or a LPN. (Notice LPN is last). I've looked at the % of jobs available for these and not a lot of hospitals are looking for these titles. Can someone possibly point me in the right direction? Can I get some advice on which one I should choose?
