Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Iowa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Iowa?
You become a licensed practical nurse in Iowa by completing an accredited practical nursing program, passing the NCLEX-PN exam, and applying for licensure through the Iowa Board of Nursing. Most programs take about a year to complete and are offered at community colleges across the state. Iowa also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in another compact state can practice in Iowa without obtaining a separate Iowa license.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Iowa?
Licensed practical nurses in Iowa earn a median of about $62,630 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,550 for the lowest 10% to over $77,710 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Iowa?
Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Iowa right now include Maxim Healthcare, UnityPoint Health, and Aveanna Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Iowa's concentration of regional health systems, long-term care facilities, and rural critical access hospitals means demand is distributed across the state, not limited to the largest cities.
Which Iowa cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
Dubuque, Waterloo, and Iowa City have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Iowa. Des Moines drives volume through its large regional health systems and growing senior care sector, Cedar Rapids supports demand through MercyOne and affiliated long-term care networks, and Davenport reflects the hiring activity of Genesis Health System serving the Quad Cities corridor.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Iowa?
Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site work in facilities, homes, or clinics. About 0% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Iowa are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those are almost exclusively in telephone triage, utilization review, or care coordination roles that do not involve direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Iowa with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which consistently hire new graduates across Iowa and typically provide structured orientation programs. Large employers like UnityPoint Health and MercyOne offer new-graduate onboarding tracks that pair LPNs with experienced staff. Candidates who hold a current Iowa Board of Nursing license and a BLS certification have a clear edge. Lateral entry from certified nursing assistant roles is common and often speeds the path to a first LPN position.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Iowa?
You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Iowa on Migrate Mate, which lists current Iowa openings across health systems, long-term care facilities, and home health agencies. Find roles that fit your experience and preferred location, then apply directly to the employer.
