Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Florida?

To become a licensed practical nurse in Florida, you must complete a state-approved practical nursing education program, typically offered at Florida community colleges and vocational schools, then pass the NCLEX-PN exam. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Florida Board of Nursing, which issues and regulates LPN licenses in the state. Florida also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other member states may practice in Florida without obtaining a separate license.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Florida?

Licensed practical nurses in Florida earn a median of about $61,770 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,450 for the lowest 10% to over $74,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Florida?

Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Florida right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, Maxim Healthcare, and Aviata Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large network of skilled nursing facilities, correctional health contractors, and home health agencies means consistent openings exist well beyond the major hospital systems statewide.

Which Florida cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Florida. The concentration of large hospital systems and post-acute care campuses in these metros drives most of the volume, while suburban markets around Orlando and the Tampa Bay area also show strong demand from growing senior living communities and physician group practices.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require on-site patient care. About 11% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The narrow exceptions tend to be telephonic triage roles, case management support positions, or utilization review functions that some Florida insurance and managed care organizations staff remotely.

How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to skilled nursing facilities and long-term care centers, which in Florida consistently hire new-grad LPNs and offer on-the-job orientation. Large operators with Florida campuses often run structured new-employee training tracks that pair you with a senior LPN for the first several weeks. Completing a Florida Board of Nursing-approved program and passing the NCLEX-PN immediately makes you eligible, and candidates who also hold a current certified nursing assistant credential tend to move through the hiring process faster because the clinical familiarity translates directly.

Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location across the state, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
