How Much Do A Cna And An Lpn Make?
I have just decided to go to school to be an LPN. The school is only a year long and only $5k, so I figured I would go ahead and go to it before going to be an RN so I can be working in the meantime. The class will not start until September, so I was thinking of going for a 5-week CNA course this summer, which is anywhere between $125 and $900 in my area, so I can work as a CNA while I go to school. Is all of this worth it, or should I just go directly to be an RN. Also, does anyone know ACCURATE salary estimates for these professions? I found some for my area on www.indeed.com, but they sounded way unrealistic. I live in Middle Tennessee, around Nashville, but salary info for AL would satisfy me since we’re thinking about moving. Thanks, guys!

I live in California and have no idea about salaries in your area. However, as a medical instructor I highly recommend that you start off with the CNA program for several reasons. First, because you can work, earn money and gain experience as you study to become an LPN. Secondly, training for the next step, LPN, will be easier because you have already covered some of the material. Third, it will help you get into the next training program, LPN then RN, if they are impacted as you already have background and/or experience.
Also, do your research. Some medical employers will either pay you to move up the ladder from LPN to RN for example or they will offer tuition reimbursement. You can check with your tax person about possible write offs. Usually you wouldn’t be able to write off your first training (CNA) but might be able to write off subsequent training–to go from CNA to LPN for example. Best of luck to you. We need you!
