Need Help Starting a Nursing Career
I've always had a fascination and respect for people in the healthcare field, and I'm thinking about getting into nursing, but I really don't know where to start. Can someone give me some advice as to what would be the best way to get into the nursing field? I'm a 25 year old guy, and I hear that's going to work in my favor since there are so few men in the field. But I'm wondering, would it be easier to become an LVN/CNA first and then go for being an RN? I just don't know where to start and I'm ready to stop wasting my time and get going with a career.
I appreciate any help I can get.
