Practical Nurses work in many settings, including long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, assisted living centers, medical offices, clinics and home healthcare agencies. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Practical Nurses is projected to grow 11 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.
