Is there really a future for new LPN's??

[Sharls237]

I have been reading a lot of articles and they say it's a good future for new LPN's. but then I have conversations with people and the say lot of places are not hiring LPN's anymore. I'm very confused on which career path to take. Any Advice??

I'm in Illinois, and hospitals aren't hiring LPNs anymore, at least around here.

I work in LTC.
