Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Georgia?
To become a licensed practical nurse in Georgia, you must complete a practical nursing program approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing, then pass the NCLEX-PN licensing examination. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Georgia Board of Nursing, which issues your official Georgia LPN license. Most approved programs are offered through technical colleges in the Technical College System of Georgia, and the full path from enrollment to licensure typically takes about a year.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Georgia?
Licensed practical nurses in Georgia earn a median of about $62,030 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,010 for the lowest 10% to over $76,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Georgia?
Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Georgia right now include PruittHealth, CHSGa, and Piedmont Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Georgia's large integrated health systems, long-term care chains, and state correctional facilities generate the most consistent volume of openings across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
Atlanta, Augusta, and Macon have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Georgia right now. Atlanta leads by volume because of its concentration of major hospital systems, rehabilitation networks, and long-term care facilities, while Augusta and Savannah generate steady demand through academic medical centers and growing regional health campuses that serve large surrounding populations.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require an on-site presence in a facility, clinic, or patient home. About 3% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telephone triage, care coordination, or health coaching roles that do not involve direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities across Georgia, which consistently hire newly licensed LPNs and often provide structured orientation programs. Large Georgia employers such as WellStar and Emory Healthcare also run new-graduate onboarding tracks. Candidates who hold a current Georgia LPN license and a BLS certification have a clear edge, and lateral moves from certified nursing assistant roles provide practical clinical experience that strengthens any application.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings across hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, and other settings.
