In terms of criticality, both Licensed Practitioner Nurse and Registered Nurses are important roles to a healthcare setting. That said you don’t want all Licensed Practitioner Nurse transitioning to the role of a Registered Nurses. Firstly, good LPN To RN Programs do not do this. And second, it would be an administrative headache for the hospital to manage so many Registered Nurses. Performance management and expectations management of the Registered Nurses could be a topic of discussion if there are too many Registered Nurses floating around. Thus, a ratio of Registered Nurses to 9 Licensed Practitioner Nurse is normally considered acceptable for healthcare settings.
