SECTION 1: NURSING SUPPLY
The following charts were prepared using Iowa Board of Nursing annual reports from 1986 to2005. The graphs illustrate trends and provide a basis of comparison for Registered Nurse (RN)and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Iowa data with national projections. The tables wereprepared by the Iowa Department of Public Health, Center for Health Workforce Planning.
Note: In Iowa, nurses may hold RN and LPN licensures concurrently. On November 1, 2005, 1,047 individuals residing in Iowa held both active RN and LPN licensure. For this reason, the categories arenot mutually exclusive on the following charts.

The number of graduates from RN and LPN pre-licensure programs declined in the late 1980s.An increase in graduates began in the early 1990s, peaking for both RNs and LPNs in 1995 and1996. Following another decline, the number of graduates has steadily increased since 2001.
Note: Most nursing education programs at Iowa community colleges are built on a career ladder concept that prepares graduates to apply for LPN licensure upon completion of the first level (year) and
RN licensure upon completion of the second level (year). At least two-thirds of PN graduates from Iowa programs proceed directly to an RN program.
