Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) can expect pay similar to that of medical or dental assistants. LPNs employed by the government, nursing homes or hospital systems typically earn slightly more than those employed in physician offices. As the aging and chronically ill American population drives up demand for LPNs, pay is expected to rise slightly reflecting increased competition for talent. Successful LPN can further improve their income by returning to school and pursuing other nursing roles, such as that of a Registered Nurse (RN).
