Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Minnesota?
You become a licensed practical nurse in Minnesota by completing an accredited practical nursing program, then passing the NCLEX-PN exam and applying for licensure through the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Most approved programs are offered at Minnesota community and technical colleges, such as those in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. Once your license is active and in good standing with the Board, you are eligible to work as an LPN anywhere in the state.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Minnesota?
Licensed practical nurses in Minnesota earn a median of about $63,750 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,700 for the lowest 10% to over $77,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Minnesota?
Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Minnesota right now include Essentia Health, Allina Health, and Good Samaritan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's dense network of long-term care facilities, integrated health systems, and home health agencies means LPN hiring remains active across the Twin Cities metro and outstate communities year-round.
Which Minnesota cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
Rochester, Duluth, and Fosston have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the largest share of demand due to its concentration of hospital systems, specialty clinics, and long-term care facilities, while Rochester's position as home to Mayo Clinic sustains strong LPN hiring, and Duluth anchors demand in the northeastern region through Essentia Health and regional care networks.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the overwhelming majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 19% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in telephonic triage, care coordination, or utilization review roles rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care facilities and post-acute rehabilitation centers, which consistently hire new-graduate LPNs in Minnesota. Large employers like Ecumen and Benedictine Living operate multiple Minnesota sites and hire LPNs at entry level. Completing a clinical rotation in a Minnesota community or technical college program already gives you documented hands-on hours that hiring managers recognize, and holding an active Minnesota Board of Nursing license is the credential that opens the door to any facility in the state.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
