Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) are projected to be among the top 30 fastest-growing occupations over the next ten years, and the top six most in-demand health careers. Therefore, it's a great time to look into this nursing career that requires only about one year of education after completion of a high school diploma or equivalent.
If you are interested in a nursing career, becoming an LVN or LPN can offer a great opportunity to grow into more advanced nursing careers if you desire, with programs such as an LVN to BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program. Due to the relatively lower barrier of entry, LVN/LPNs are typically not paid quite as high as registered nurses (RN). However, you can choose to further advance your career at a later date with additional coursework and degrees, if you decide that you want to earn more and be eligible for higher-level nursing roles.
