Thinking of becoming an LVN or RN

[sullivanlane]

 I got laid off from my job in May and still haven't found a new position. I went to SDSU for journalism, but we know that's a dying industry (if it's not dying, at the very least they pay pennies for a lot of hard work). I'm thinking of returning to school to become an LVN or RN.

Anyone have any experience with schools in the area for this field? Like, how long it takes, how good the program is, and if they assist with job placement? I have a family so I'd only want to attend school part-time or possibly nights/weekends.

Thanks for any insight you guys could provide.
