Practical Nurse Employment Data

Employment of licensed practical nurses is projected to grow 11% from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for most occupations. As the baby-boom population ages, the overall need for healthcare services is expected to increase. LPNs will be needed in residential care facilities and in-home health environments to care for older patients.
