If you... show more Some people say that they are being phased out and some people say that they are not. It seems to me like they are because i live in Michigan and the majority of the schools here don't even offer lpn program.They only offer cna/patient care technician.f you... show more Some people say that they are being phased out and some people say that they are not.

Just because you see less of them in some acute care hospitals doesn't mean that they're being phased out. LPNs are the backbone of nursing homes, home health, and hospice.They can also be found in psychiatric hospitals, rehab facilities, group homes, clinics, doctors offices, and other settings outside the hospital.any RN's don't think they are good enough to work in nursing homes, and many nursing homes, can't afford to have an all RN staff. My mom was in Healthcare industry for 30 years and told me every since the 60's they have been saying LPN's will be phased out. Best Answer: lol about your additional details comments... LPN's are definately NOT being phased out any time soon! Although some hospitals are choosing to hire RN's instead of LPN's because RN's can start IV's and pass medications where as LPN's sometimes have limitations by laws in their states.f you... show more Some people say that they are being phased out and some people say that they are not.

Best Answer: If you can get into an ADN program, even in a community college, you will be better off than with the LPN program. They are being phased out in a lot of hospitals. In home health nursing I still see a lot of LPN/ LVNs.If you can't get into any RN program at all, then go with the LPN and then do the bridge as soon as you can. You will also make much better money that way.ts not that they are getting phased out, you only can work in certain areas as a LPN. I went into LPN because i got so discouraged because at ALL the colleges they are only accepting a low amount of people. so now I am a LPN making a nice salary and at the community college for my RN. My teacher said the same thing about LPNs getting phased out on my first day in my LPN class. she said they have been saying that since she became a LPN over 50 years ago.

FOOTHILL COLLEGE: Median annual earnings of licensed practical nurses were $36,550 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $31,080 and $43,640. Since LVN’s are being phased out of the acute care hospitals, many local hospitals no longer.OOTHILL COLLEGE: Median annual earnings of licensed practical nurses were $36,550 in May 2006.

Yes! Many hospitals are not hiring them as floor nurses, but there are other opportunities for them.any RN's don't think they are good enough to work in nursing homes, and many nursing homes, can't afford to have an all RN staff. My mom was in Healthcare industry for 30 years and told me every since the 60's they have been saying LPN's will be phased out. It has been an ongoing debate for years, but Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are now facing a serious vocational choice as many traditional hospitals are currently phasing out the position in favor of more qualified nursing colleagues.or example, LPN’s can take patient information but are not considered qualified to assess a patients condition. The essential difference between LPN’s and the RN is not task-related. In many states, LPNs administer IV therapy, communicate directly with physicians, write verbal and telephone orders, etc.
