Grant Walker of Southern Illinois Healthcare says shortages create opportunities for new graduates as hospitals recruit heavily. Logan and Shawnee Community College offer nursing tracks with 70 LPN and 40 RN grads yearly, rising in alternate years as part-time programs finish. Most LPN grads advance to BN or RN routes, with 18 percent pursuing BSN.
