OVERVIEW
The National League for Nursing proudly presents the new, updated, and fully revised edition of A Guide to State-Approved Schools of Nursing LPN/LVN, 2006. All schools that conducted programs in practical or vocational nursing in the US from October 16, 2004 through October 15, 2005 are included in this edition. Since 1953, the NLN has maintained a comprehensive database of nursing education programs, allowing us to publish books and monographs on trends in the educational preparation of future LPNs.

The 2006 edition boasts new features that enhance its utility for prospective practical nursing students, health planners, nurse administrators, nurse educators, and career and guidance counselors. In addition to providing key data on accreditation, enrollments, graduations, and faculty for each practical nursing program, this volume offers a wealth of information to those interested in pursuing LPN or LVN degrees about the variety of programs in their region, state, or metropolitan area.

Prospective students will find such added features as faculty-student ratios, tuition rates, and information on student demographics in a clear, easy-to-read format. This year’s volume also contains more than 1,000 graphs that allow the reader to easily compare a program’s tuition to that of comparable nursing programs in the same region.
