Trade school or?

[Idiosyncratic]

Just wondering, are you going to a trade school for your LVN, or a community college? There's no community college offering LVN out here, and I want to step into an ASN instead of jump straight in. So, I've thought of the local trade school that offers it.

Thoughts appreciated!

I started at a trade school in 2012. I do not regret my choice. I knew at least 2 people who had applied multiple times to the community college and were not accepted, due to impaction. I graduated in 2013 and was able to find a decent job fairly quickly.

Make sure you research your local job market to determine if new grads are likely to be hired, pay rates, loan payments, etc.

Good luck to you!!
