Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) & LPN Jobs

Whether your state license says Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN in California and Texas) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN across the rest of the United States), outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, federal health clinics, home health agencies and medical centers are actively hiring practical nurses for direct patient care, medication administration, wound care and triage.

Because job boards often split LVN and LPN postings into separate searches, nurses miss openings that use the other abbreviation, especially on federal USAJOBS postings or multi-state healthcare systems that list roles as 'Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN)'. This hub brings both LVN and LPN openings together in one feed and lets you filter by city or state using the location bar right below.

When applying, make sure your resume clearly states your state license number or compact (NLC) eligibility, IV therapy and blood withdrawal certifications, active BLS card, electronic health record systems (such as Epic, PointClickCare or Cerner) and typical patient-to-nurse ratios.
