Feedback:
Continued and rapid growth is expected in nursing homes, board-and-care homes, and group homes. Projections are that a greater percentage of jobs in these areas will continue to be filled by LPN/LVNs, rather than by RNs. Other nonhospital settings will also provide expanded employment for LPN/LVNs. These include areas such as home care, community health centers, and positions in physicians' offices and schools. Some hospitals are also increasing their employment of LPN/LVNs, although hospitals reflect the slowest growth for employment of all nurses, including LPN/LVNs.
