hi there! i would just like to know your insights about these: i'm planning to go back to school here in CA and im considering LVN or OTA. i would like to take RN but considering the length of time finishing the course my husband and i decided to take up either LVN or OTA (Occupational Therapist Assistant). Which of the 2 do you guys think would be better? I have interest on both fields but the thing is, for OTA, I can't find any nearby colleges (Im staying here in OC, Cypress area) If you guys know any school please do let me know Also, would LVN still be in demand by the time i finish the course which is 1 year for full time student?

another thing, is there any place/hospital/county here where i could bring my mom for consultation/check up for free? she's below 60 years old but taking meds for maintenance (bp, dibaetes, etc). is there any way to get discounted meds here for them? It'll be quite pricey to bring all the meds until she gets back to the phils since she'll be here for almost 6 months.

i would be glad to hear your thoughts about this. thank you!

Welcome to sunny California =)

In my opinion LVN has a lot of opportunities in terms on working with hospitals, facilities or private nurse. They pretty much do all the dirty work that an RN should be doing. NUrses are always in demand. lalo na andaming me tama dito hahah =)

You can go to a city public health office for your mom for consultation if it is not free it would be cheap, not sure about meds and the length of line to get through..

Goodluck! =)

For the meds I would suggest getting a larger presciption filled before heading stateside.
