Turns out not every state even requires LPNs to earn CEUs, but PracticalNursing.org notes the ones that do can fine you or take disciplinary action if you're audited and come up short. Free employer seminars and clinic training count too, so it's not all $25-$50 course fees.

Nursing homes employed just 37% of LPNs back in 2012, per data PracticalNursing.org cites — the rest were already working in doctor's offices, dialysis centers, addiction clinics, even factories as occupational health nurses. If long-term care isn't your thing, that's not the whole job market.

Thinking about hospice work after LPN school? PracticalNursing.org explains that new grads often build toward it through home health experience or nursing homes with hospice units, then add credentials like ELNEC training down the road.

Volunteering with a hospice organization during your program is one way to get ahead before you even graduate.

One thing PracticalNursing.org makes clear: an LPN in a nursing home is doing a very different job than an LPN doing home visits, from admitting new residents to managing a patient's medication dosages solo. Also worth noting: the BLS projected LPN jobs to grow by over 100,000 between 2014 and 2024.
