Thinking of becoming a LVN

[truckinusa]

Am I out of my mind? Its a year of school. It pays around $20hr. Getting tired of driving truck. Any advice?

I know a LVN that loves it. I don't think she went to school for a year though. Check around. I think its a good idea. People are always going to need health care no matter what the economy does. That and food. Just saying..................

My mother works at the school. It is free. Some materials you pay for. Its 53 weeks. Normally there is a waiting list but my mom thinks she can pull some strings. I know nothing about medical.

An LVN is a Licensed Vocational Nurse. They perform nearly the same duties as a RN. Some states they can't start an IV. They are supervised by either a RN or a doctor depending on the setting. This is just what I read.
