You know that you will have to deal with body fluids and a large work load depending on where you work as a nurse. Mostly, your responsiblity will increase when you bacome a LPN, all of the other stuff is pretty constant in the nursing field.

2 weeks really isn't long enough trial period.Maybe if you take a refresher cna course, start working at it again, give it another try.If after a few months, it doesnt get better, then re evaluate.If you can't handle to job duties of a cna, then maybe  nursing isn't for you.If you are wanting to help others, maybe social work,physical therapy,counseling or something along that lines.Good luck and God bless!!

If you only lasted 2 weeks as a cna, I do not see how you could go for LPN.

You need To "cowboy up" or think of something else. 

Some of the best nurses's I have ever worked with have been LPN's and  I have to say dont think for  a minute that they work any less hard than a CNA or an RN.  You can expect dressing changes, with lots of blood and nasty smells and fluids, dealing with colostomies and vomiting in addition to your med pass and assessments then there is always the unique and unforgettable c-diff, a smell you will never forget.  In my state although LPN's are not allowed to start blood, they are allowed to and expected to monitor the rest of the transfusion.

You may consider getting an activites assistant certification from a local community college, as this is also a badly needed position in healthcare and long term care.

I am an RN and I would never think of asking a CNA or LPN to do anything that I would not be willing to do myself.  There will be times when no one is available and for the good of the patient you'll just have to roll up your sleeves and get in there.  If you are looking for a nice light workload, this is not the job for you.
