LPN Travel Jobs Overview
As a licensed practical nurse (LPN), you’re used to handling whatever the job throws at you, whether you work in acute care, post-acute care, or long-term care. But if you feel like it’s time for a change of scenery, you may enjoy becoming a travel LPN and temporarily moving to a part of the country where staffing shortages have put your skills in very high demand.
There’s a variety of LPN travel jobs available right now on IntelyCare with agencies like American Traveler, ATC Healthcare Travelers, and FullShift Staffing to name just a few.
If you live in a state that’s part of the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC), consider getting a compact nursing license. It can make it easier for you to begin working in other NLC states. If you live in a state that isn’t part of the NLC, or you’re seeking travel LPN jobs in non-NLC states, you must transfer your nursing license before you can legally practice.
Whether you’re interested in moving to a large metropolitan city or you want to provide care in more rural areas, discover all the latest traveling LPN jobs that are posted right now on IntelyCare. You can also seek out contract LPN jobs and temporary LPN jobs to see what else is available.
Enjoy Greater Flexibility With Travel LPN Jobs
One of the main benefits of LPN travel assignments is that you get to know what it’s like to live and work in a new location without an extended commitment. If you work a full-time LPN job, part-time LPN job, or remote LPN job, you’re entering into a long-term obligation to a single employer. And if your role is in person, your job search is limited to your geographic area.
But in an LPN travel job, you select your assignment based on whatever criteria is important to you — location, nursing specialty, facility type, or something else. If you’ve never worked in home health care and want to see if it’s a good fit for you, you can try that. If you’re from a small town and always dreamed of working in a big-city hospital, the opportunities are there. Another upside: Many agencies offer LPN travel jobs with housing.
Then, when your assignment has ended, you choose what to do next. Maybe you begin exploring new LPN traveling jobs right away, but maybe not. You could go back to school, earn a certification, work LPN per diem shifts, or decide it’s time for a vacation. The decision is entirely up to you.
Expand Your Skills in LPN Travel RN Jobs
Travel LPN assignments come with opportunities to become a more well-rounded nurse. You’ll be in a new facility, treating a new patient population. Depending on the role you accept, you may be able to obtain specialty credentials such as Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification. Or you might discover a more efficient way to do intakes, learn advanced infection control best practices, or get trained to use a new medical charting system. The skills you acquire on your travel assignments can help your LPN resume and cover letter grab the attention of employers.
Earn Good Money in Travel LPN Jobs
The average LPN salary is $64,150 per year ($30.84 per hour), but a travel LPN job may pay even more because you’re in high demand. Your pay can also be influenced by your experience level, certifications, facility type, and location. These states have the highest average annual salaries for LPNs:
