well it depends on what kinda work you wanna do. Like if you want to be an LPN, i would suggest becoming a CNA, then you could experience working under an LPN in a nursing home or hospital. Thats what i did and having that kinda experience makes it look good when you go to collage to become an LPN or RN and is actually required to get into a nursing program in most places.. Plus its nice to add that to your resume..

RN (registered nurse) has more training and is allowed to do more things....plus their pay is higher than an LPN.\n\nLPN (licensed practical nurse) takes only 1 year to finish, and they can do basic thing only.\n\nI've seen the pay for LPNs at around $15/hour while RN can get around $30/hour.  Pay will depend on what part of the country you're in though.\n\nIf you have time and are serious about nursing, go for the RN.

Associates- takes 1-2 years, some include the LPN nursing degree, lab tech, surgery assistant, computer tech, EMT, childcare.  These degrees usually land low to middle paying jobs. \n\nBachelors- 3-5 years, you can get a bachelors degree in almost anything.  There are several that pay well, and most of them pay median to upper median salaries. \n\nMaster's- 1-2 yrs. after bachelor's, usually result in high paying jobs, for example, nurse practitioner or PA, college instructor in your field, researcher, etc. \n\nDoctorate-3-4 yrs after bachelor's degree, these degrees pay high salaries.

Normally, a Masters degree in Social Work.  To get into this type of program, usually you would need an undergraduate degree in social sciences (if not Social Work) and related volunteer or work experience.  See information about this type of program at the link below.

The most demand for LPN's are in Home Health and in Long Term Care. There is also some demand in Doctor's Offices and insurance agencies. It is usually somewhat hard for LPN's to get a foot in the door as far as hospitals go. \n\nThe best field depent on what your goals are. If you can make it into a hospital you will gain good experience that you can use if you decide to get an RN license later on in life. A good way to get hospital experience is to find work in a Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTAC), they provide Med/Surg experience that can be used to apply at a larger hospital, and these facilites seem to be LPN friendly.\n\nAs far as pay is concerned Nursing Homes usually pay best, followed by Home Health, and Hospitals usually pay the least. \n\nThere really is no best answer for what the best field is. That depends on your motivation and your goals.

You can obtain schooling through many schools. some probably in your area, however, to become licensed as an RN or NP, you still need to do clinicals. They will take time. I am not sure how many hours it is because i did my schooling the conventional way, but you can do most of the class time online. However, you say that you are unable to attend school, so I am not sure how you will attend clinicals.
