 | I love medicine and helping people feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally. I believe the mind, body, and spirit are connected. I have three career options, occupational therapy assistant, licensed practical nurse, or registered nurse. If I were a nurse I wouldn't want to work in a hospital, I also wouldn't want to deal with too much blood. I love working with families, and helping people heal from their diseases. I tend to like to give advice on health. I also don't like to stay in school long.

 | I have a diploma of Nursing which enables me to practice as an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse in Australia which is equivlent to a Licensed Practical Nurse in the United States.. I have read the immigration websites stating that you need at least a Bachelors to obtain a green card. How true is this? Do you know any overseas trained LPNs working in America?

| I am interested in going into the medical field but I'm not sure what I want to do. I've already wasted too much time in school switching my major and I am now transferring my credits to my local community college and finishing up this semester to get my associates in general studies so I at least have something for all the work and money I put into it. Anyways, once I'm done with that, I want to get a fast education to enter into the healthcare field. Which of these are the best option with the best pay and job opportunities?
LPN (licensed practical nurse)
Dental Hygiene
Dental Assistant
Medical Assistant
CNA (don't want to do this one because i've heard horror stories)

| I have a bachelor's degree program in business management and I want to go back to school and get a healthcare degree. My job is currently secured, but you just never know. I've always wanted to get into healthcare but don't know which position is for me. I am thinking either Medical Assistant or Licensed Practical Nurse.
Which is a better position for me? Thanks for any advice.

| I am currently a Nurses Assistant right now. I am using it for experience then upgrade my nursing career to at least a Licensed Practical Nurse so I would be making more money at least. I do not want anyone to tell me for an RN instead yes it is a better decision but I could upgrade to an RN in the future after gaining experience as an LPN if I do not want to stay as an LPN forever. I was told that if I went for an LPN I would be able to make a decent living with it at least where I live where the cost of living ranges between 40,000-49,000. That fits about perfectly with an LPN salary on how much they make a year. I have researched online that LPN at least in long term care and rehabilitation centers can earn as much as $57,000 or close to 60,000 a year at from now to 2018 that is going to be a 22?ncrease in LPN job employment which is also a good thing. the thing is I would like to work in a hospital at some point too but from what I have seen online there is not as much employment in LPN in hospitals as much as there are in nursing homes and such. Even if there were I hear LPN's are very low paid in hospitals. I am also asking can I make a living working as an LPN in a hospital or anywhere as long as it fits in the cost of living in that area. I am not trying to be filthy rich or anything I am just trying to make a good living for myself.

 | LPNs (Licensed practical nurse) in Canada go through 2 years of college.
Is that equivalent to an RN program in the States because I heard that being an LPN or LVN in the States only takes one year of college??
Is an RN program a college program in the States? How long is the program?
If I get an LPN license here in Toronto, Canada and take a equivalency exam to work in California, what would my job description and title be?

| I am a licensed vocational nurse (licensed practical nurse in other states) and am working in the department of corrections within the department of mental health making $90k a year. I am questioning my future and my ability to stay happy with this profession. I am really questioning joining the military. Possibly coast guard. What are my options with my nursing background? Any fields that I would have an advantage in joining? Anything my state time would help with? Should I go for reserves considering my age? Any opinions? Just scratching the surface.
