CNA to LVN

Finding work as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) is often the starting point for most people when they take the courses and complete their program. Working as a CNA, you might have seen LVNs taking charge in the workplace. LVNs are calm, cool, and confident, possessing the tools and knowledge to help doctors and nurses through their day.

It’s actually not a major leap to transform your career from CNA to LVN either. With your experiences and education, you can immediately start an LVN program and within a year, complete the program.

Just imagine, you could be achieving your dreams in a quarter of the time it takes university students to cycle through school. You already have the experience and getting your certification would put you leaps and bounds ahead of the competition for some of the best jobs on the market.

LVNs and LPNs typically have a higher salary, more responsibilities, and a much wider scope of practical knowledge than CNAs.
