Practical Nursing Programs - LPN/LVN SchoolsHome >> Practical Nursing (LPN)
Nursing rank among the top 10 growing occupations, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor is projecting at least 36 percent growth in the next decade. Because of the relatively short period of time involved to graduate from a Practical Nursing program, (typically 12 months or less), many people who seek a career in nursing begin their career as a Practical Nurse (also called Vocational Nurse in some states). Practical Nursing is the entry level of the Nursing career ladder. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), provide skilled nursing care under the supervision of physicians and registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, home health agencies, long term care facilities, and a variety of other settings. Practical Nursing programs are offered by vocational or technical schools or community or junior colleges, and combine both classroom learning and hands on clinical training. During this supervised hands-on clinical training, students gain experience in a variety of patient care settings in hospitals and long term care facilities. Upon graduation from an accredited Practical Nursing Program, graduates may apply to take the National Council Licensure examination for Practical Nurses, (NCLEX-PN) and use the title of LPN.
