Students also receive supervised clinical experience. In Indiana, many nursing occupations are regulated by the Indiana State Board of Nursing. Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Midwives must apply for a license to practice. Licenses are renewed in October of odd-numbered years. All states require LPNs to be licensed.
Requirements vary by state.
Many states require LPNs to take continuing education courses in order to maintain their licenses. For more information about these licensing requirements contact your state Board of Nursing.
