Even if you do a CNA or LPN, you can do the RN degree online and those are excepted WAY more these days than they were 10 years ago. Plus it's sort of at your own pace until the clinical portion, that's a bitch to fit in, but SO worth it in the long run. Nursing will always have job security, no matter what! LPN actually makes decent money of you have no kids.
CNA programs get completed in a short span of 2 weeks or may take 12 weeks if they are part-time or weekend-based. The position of an LPN comes with power and responsibility. It requires the students to acquire skills and have command over particular subjects.
You need to complete a degree, diploma or certificate program in practical nursing to become an LPN. ... Although you can't get an LPN degree online; you can do some of the classes online and others on-campus. Also, you can register for LPN to RN/BSN online programs, but that is after you complete your LPN degree.
How long does it take to become an LPN? 12 months Full-time licensed practical nurse (LPN) training programs typically take around 12 months to complete. These programs are available from many community colleges, vocational schools, and universities and may include around 40 credit hours of coursework
Get and "accredited" degree!

Courses in an Online LPN-to-RN Program LPN-to-RN online programs cover the additional material and field training LPNs need to pass the NCLEX-RN. Most courses can be completed online, but the required clinical hours must be completed in person at an approved facility.Jul 3, 2019

I think CNA can, but there is clinical's that must be performed in person at a facility because there are numerous jobs that will be in facilities doing that clinical stuff, lol. You can do most things you put your mind and body to! 26 year 10th HS dropout with a GED, and went back to get an RN degree, you can do it.

IMO college debt is plenty worth it for a career you really enjoy. You're investing the money to spend 40 hours a week doing something fulfilling or that you actually like.
I'll have 90k in debt for my masters which I'll finish next year. With income based repayment or a longer loan period it's just another few hundred a month, which is easily made up for by living slightly more frugally

Exactly. I doubt I would have got my job without a degree - too much competition. Well worth the money.
