I want to be a LPN but I literally know nothing

I’ve always wanted to work in the medical field. Somewhere. I just love the field. Have such a curiosity and passion. I was medically complex in my teen years and saw all kinds of drs and had different tests and everything just fascinates me about the body. I am poor and a mom of 2 littles. I work at a daycare and do love it but I know I want something more out of my life. I think I’d like to be an LPN. But also open to other things but honestly finances are holding me back. Idk how to apply for student loans and as a mom I don’t really have time to go to college for years while also trying to work. I just really don’t know the first thing about getting my foot in the door and going from there. Does anyone have any advice for me? Am I dumb for wanting to do this when I know nothing? It feels so impossible but something in me wants to do this so bad.

I’m waiting until my child starts school, but want options ahead of time. I want to get into nursing but finances are not great to do so. I’m looking for jobs that may pay for you to get your degree or license. Not sure if it’s smarter to start out with CNA and work my way up, or if any other hospitals may pay for you to get your RN, LPN while working there doing something else. I’m looking for all the advice. I’m in Ephrata but can travel to Lititz or LGH

I am a 26 year old mom of 2, I currently work in a daycare. Since I was a little girl I always wanted to be in the medical field. Life was not kind to me in my younger years and I wasn’t able to graduate high school as I was homeless and was fighting to survive. I then had kids young and got married young. Now my kids are almost in school and I’m thinking maybe finally I can chase my dream. Financially we are already not in a great place so I’m not sure how I’ll afford it. I feel a pull towards labor and delivery, maybe even postpartum like mom and baby. But truly I don’t know the first thing about nursing or how any of this works. I just know I have a passion for helping people and a curiosity about the medical field. I hope I don’t sound naive.
How do you even start a nursing career? Is there places that might pay your tuition if you work there, like a reimbursement? I’m looking for any and all advice, reality checks all of it.. thank you in advance!

New to fragrance, I’ve been a body mist person mostly because of cost reasons. Recently have been branching out. I love a vanilla smell or kinda fruity. Like sol de janeiro the light pink bottle is my favorite.
Anyways, my mom got me Eilish because I’ve read so many good things about it. And I must say it is not what I expected. It quite literally burns my nose right after sprayed. And almost has a tobacco type smell. I have a perfume from finery sweet on the outside, and I also have bare vanilla from VS. Eilish smells almost identical to both of those. And they are ok, not my favorite but they’re good. Shocked how similar they smell to Eilish. What are some good true vanilla perfumes without the spice per se?
