    Indiana Licensed Practical Nurse 2012 Licensure Survey Report
    (2013-08) Sheff, Zachary T.; Zollinger, Terrell W.; Harper, Kimberly; Crawford, Elizabeth K.; Buente, Bryce
    This is the first technical report describing the licensed practical nurse (LPN) workforce in Indiana. In addition to describing the LPN workforce, this report compared LPNs to Indiana’s registered nurse (RN) workforce. The data in this report will serve as a baseline for future analyses of the LPN workforce in Indiana. In the 201 2 LPN licensure period, there were 26,755 total LPNs currently licensed in Indiana. The overall response rate for the 2012 Indiana LPN Licensure Survey was 94.2 percent. Of the 26,755 licensed LPN’s, individuals included for analysis: (1) actively working in nursing; (2) responded to the electronic survey, and (3) gave an Indiana practice address on their survey. A total of 16,937 LPN s included in the sample for analysis met these three criteria. Therefore, the sample analyzed (16,937 LPNs) in this report represents 63.3 percent of the total number of active LPN licensure in Indiana (26,755 LPNs). When the mean age and length of license was compared between LPN s included in the sample and those who listed an Indiana address on their license but did not respond to the survey it was found that individuals in the sample were younger (p < 0.001) and had been licensed for a shorter period of time (p < 0.001).
