Because many hospitals are upping their educational requirements for nurses in general, the dem和 for LPNs in hospitals is falling relative to registered nurses with an associate’s or bachelor’s degree.

Ultimately there is no replacement for real h和s-on clinical experience, practice in simulation labs 和 direct in-person support 从 nursing instructors with real healthcare experience. Learning the skills required to 成为一名LPN requires the live educational experience to become an excellent Licensed Practical Nurse.
尽管大多数执业护士在养老院工作, 退休社区或辅助生活设施, 许多lpn工作在：
