    In the state of Pennsylvania, licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can expect to see an increase in the number of job openings over the next few years. This is because many LPNs are set to retire, leaving a large number of positions open. As an LPN in Pennsylvania, you can expect to earn an average annual salary of $42,920, which is slightly higher than the national average. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of living is also slightly higher in this state. Registered nurses, by comparison, earn an average salary of $58,360. The Pennsylvania Board of Nursing has determined that all LPNs have to pass the NCLEX-PN exam before they can practice. This means that they must first follow an LPN program that allows them to take this exam. If you are interested in becoming an LPN in Pennsylvania, you have a huge variety of schools to choose from.

    Let’s take a look at the top LPN programs in Pennsylvania.
