Nursing students who are unable to graduate will still have a chance to work in the United States.
National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses of America president Gregory Howard said there is a "huge demand" for licensed practical nurses in the US.
An LPN is one who has completed a practical nursing program, not necessarily a bachelor's degree, and is licensed by a state to provide routine patient care under the direction of a registered nurse or a physician. LPNs are often employed in hospitals, nursing homes, physician's office, clinics, schools, industry and correctional facilities.
"Unlike registered nurses (RNs), LPNs focus more on bedside care. Their task is highly technical and the scope of practice is dependent on the state where they are based," Howard said.
