  • yes, the rating of corpsman.
  • Hell, with the shape of the forces right now, you should hold out for a HUGE singing bonus.
  • You are not too old, BUT..LPN will not get you a direct Comission into the Medical Community( you must have a BSN), so you’d have to go enlisted. BUT..HM is VERY limited for females and you may not be able to get in. so, you would have to be open to the possibility of going into another field, or holding out until you have the BSN and then trying for a DIRCOM.

  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    I’m going to school to become an LPN. You have more opportunities, better money and flexibility. Girl, you will have it made in the shade when you get your degree. I know I will =)
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    There are more CNA jobs than there are LPN jobs, but LPN’s make more money. Both require schooling, CNA is a short training program, and LPN is a 2 year college program. CNA’s take a state registry test to get certified and LPN sit for state test to get licensed.

    A CNA does really most all of the labor in nursing homes and hospitals, but LPN’s are higher in the chain of command than CNA’s. There is only one thing lower than them and they are trained NA’s! If your going to go to school in nursing, become a CNA first. It doesn’t take that long and it looks good to add that to your resume or something when you apply for school to study LPN. LPN’s do lots of paper work and record everything. They don’t totally have to do what CNA’s do but then again… even they have to do work sometimes. CNA’s and NA’s do all the heavy duty lifting, thankless feeding, turning, toileting, showering and all that fun stuff. I didn’t hate being a CNA, but along with the good days were the bad days!
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    some places are phasing out lpns and it is hard as any new grad to obtain employment in a medical field without previous medical experience. CNAs make very little money and it is back breaking work. Some nursing homes are hiring CNAs and will actually put you through a CNA program of their own design for free. I figured that because of the “nursing shortage” that it would be fairly easy for me to obtain a job after I graduated, but most places are saying they want one year of experience before they will hire a new grad. and there are many many many people looking for jobs everywhere. i guess it depends on where you are living. depending on your academic goals, and your location, you should also see how long the waiting lists are to get into whatever program you are looking for because many nursing programs have looooong waiting lists

    LPN, more money and more opportunities, you will also be able to work a more flexible schedule, such as a weekend Baylor in which you would work 2–12 hour shifts on Sat/Sun and get paid for 36 hours.

    LPN ck with the Air Force have a very good friend that went into the Air Force before she ever finished nursing school and Retired as a Major with lots and lots of responsibilities. From what she told me Sky is the limit in the Air Force as a nurse.
    And no you are not to old, esspecially they way they are hurting for people with advanced educations. Marines do not have Nurses. The Navy, Army, and Air Force do.

    In the AF at least if you are in boot camp before your 28th birthday you can go active duty otherwise it’s reserves or another branch for guard. You can turn 28 in boot but as I said you have to be in boot before you turn 28.

    no i think the age limit is 43

  4. BUDDY LUV on February 10, 2010 1:54 pm

    No, you are not too old. I believe they will allow you to enlist if you are under 32. You just have to show you are physically capable of complying with their standards (the older you are the lower the standards).

  5. usamedic on February 10, 2010 2:07 pm

    of course not, I think 36 is the limit, but if you have kids you have to sign a legal power of attorney for them to be taken care of by your family.
