Number of active registered nurse (RN) and licensed practical nurse (LPN) licenses per 100,000 population in the state |
Registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are an important part of the medical workforce that provides medical care in the acute and primary care settings. An increased number of these actively practicing and licensed healthcare workers would be needed to respond to a mass casualty or emerging disease epidemic/pandemic. The measure focuses on the state's workforce capacity of current, active registered and practical nurses (PNs). |

The measure does not consider mutual aid plans that may be in place to supplement the number of available RNs and LPNs in the event of an emergency. The source data may undercount the RNs and LPNs available to provide care during an emergency due to limited or non-reporting by some states. |
