I am seriously considering becoming an LVN. I live in San Diego and am looking for a rewarding job. I have no prior training in the medical field. I was wondering what is the best route to becoming an LVN in the San Diego county area and what are the chances of landing a job in this field of work? Thank you all for your responses :)

Find a ROP (Regional Occupational Program) in San Diego County, since ROPs tend to offer LVN programs for dirt cheap tuition. You will pay less than $5,000 if you attend a ROP, but might spend close to $30,000 if you attend a private LVN program at a trade school.

You might want to check out Kaplan in Vista. It's one year but everything is included. No medical experience needed, or any pre reqs. One full year and your done.
