Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Massachusetts?

To become a licensed practical nurse in Massachusetts, you must complete a state-approved practical nursing program, pass the NCLEX-PN examination, and obtain licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing. Programs are offered at community colleges and vocational schools throughout the state. Once licensed, Massachusetts participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing compact-state nurses to practice in Massachusetts under certain conditions.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Massachusetts?

Licensed practical nurses in Massachusetts earn a median of about $80,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,690 for the lowest 10% to over $93,980 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Massachusetts right now include Benchmark Senior Living, Optum, and PAM Health Specialty Hospital of Stoughton, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of teaching hospitals, community health centers, and long-term care networks means hiring remains active across both large urban systems and smaller regional facilities.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Worcester, Stoughton, and Danvers have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Massachusetts. Boston leads due to its large academic medical centers and community health network, while Worcester and Springfield generate consistent demand through regional hospital systems, long-term care campuses, and state-supported behavioral health facilities that anchor hiring in their surrounding areas.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're rare. About 46% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on clinical nature of the role. The narrow slice of remote work that does exist in this field tends to involve telephonic triage, care coordination, or utilization review positions that do not require direct patient contact.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which consistently hire new LPN graduates in Massachusetts and provide structured orientation. Large employers like Genesis Healthcare and Benchmark Senior Living, as well as state-operated facilities, run onboarding programs for newly licensed nurses. Candidates who have worked as a certified nursing assistant or medical assistant have a clear advantage, as that direct-care background is recognized by Massachusetts hiring managers as equivalent to early clinical exposure.

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

You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across hospitals, long-term care facilities, community health centers, and specialty practices. Find the roles that fit your experience and credentials and apply directly from the listings.
