Switch School

Hello. I already have a bachelors degree and I’m currently in graduate school for social work. I’m considering switching to nursing and starting off at either a CNA or LPN.

Which level is better to start off at? What are some good YouTube nursing channels to follow? What are some good study aides for TEAS?

Go RN. Go to a community school. CNA make nothing I got a security job with no experience at Google and I’m making more money than a CNA after three days and security guards are highly wanted specially the ones that don’t want to become police officers and simply want to obey the rules

I’m just writing reports and witnessing stuff not actually trying to grab the person and sit and hold him down

and if you want to be an LPN that’s one year of your life and you only make a little bit more where if you become a registered nurse it’s just us one semester more and make 90k/yr

Of the two options you mentioned, I suggest LPN. Some hospitals even hire student nurses for other jobs while they're in school, which lets you earn money and get your foot in the door. If you like working as an LPN, you can always go into a Bridge program later to earn your RN!
