In the AI era: what happens to Licensed practical nurse
Licensed practical nurses' work includes both low-level clerical and high-level clinical tasks; AI will significantly replace human effort in medication calculations and document sorting, but patient care requiring human communication and hands-on tasks remains stable—a mixed-impact occupation.

Entry-level barriers are lowered as AI can handle some paperwork and basic data organization, allowing junior nurses to process repetitive tasks faster; however, regulatory requirements and clinical experience accumulation remain essential, and entry-level positions won't shrink drastically.
Licensed practical nurses can progress to advanced practice nurses (NP) or clinical nurse specialists, using AI for precise health assessment and chronic disease management; or transition to health informatics as clinical systems analysts or nursing data experts, responsible for optimizing AI models in nursing scenarios. They can also serve as nurse educators, using VR/AI tools to improve training efficiency.
