study what's interests you most so that if you work you will have passion for it..

as of me since I am an undergad nursing student here in Phils

I would choose LVN (it's only 1 year to take) then I could continue to RN

I heard (not so sure) if you take LVN you have to pass the CNA exam first (search about this just for sure)

salary of an LVN is depends on your experiences but starting is minimum to 12/hr..

♥♥God gave you to me. I asked Him why, He said, “Because he can fill your life like no one else can.” ♥♥I love you and I really miss you so much luv!♥♥Hope to be with you soon and have a happy family!♥♥

actually yes, you can continue to RN once you are an LVN. You can also take RN right away. Im just considering the length of time of course and the demand of work by the time i finish the course. If you finish your nursing degree in the Philippines, you can just take the state board exam here and youre good to go. Correct me if im wrong but thats what i've gathered here and what my rn friends told me. you can actually get paid 18-20/hr or higher as an LVN depending on experience.
