Section 1: Supply and Demand
1.2 Projected Demand
1.2.5 Major Clinical Area
The last way to assess nursing workforce needs is by major clinical area. Using categori-cal breakouts from the Board of Nursing’s licensing data and the Labor Department’s 2012-2022 projections for nursing employment, a schematic was developed to determine the current and projected demand for Idaho nurses based on major clinical area. Without trend data on changing or shifting levels of clinical area employment, a constant-share approach was used to determine 2022 projections.
LICENSED VOCATIONAL AND LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSES
Full-Time LPNs. Thirty-one percent of full-time LPNs in Idaho were employed in geriat-rics, 13 percent in medical and surgical settings and 23 percent in some other or unknown clinical area in 2012. The remaining 33 percent were in community or public health, emergency, family practice, gynecologic/obstetrics, pediatric/neonatal, psychiatric/mental health or rehabilitative or restorative care. By 2022, Idaho is projected to add 509 full-time LPNs to the workforce.
