Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Missouri?
You become a licensed practical nurse in Missouri by completing an accredited practical nursing program, then passing the NCLEX-PN exam, and applying for licensure through the Missouri State Board of Nursing. Programs are offered at community colleges and vocational schools throughout the state and typically take about a year to complete. Missouri also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so LPNs licensed in other compact states can work in Missouri without obtaining a separate license.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Missouri?
Licensed practical nurses in Missouri earn a median of about $61,530 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,580 for the lowest 10% to over $77,120 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Missouri?
Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Missouri right now include Maxim Healthcare, Mercy, and Phoenix Home Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's concentration of large health systems, skilled nursing facilities, and regional hospitals means consistent openings across both metropolitan and rural areas.
Which Missouri cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Missouri. St. Louis and Kansas City drive the largest share of listings because of their major health system headquarters and dense hospital networks, while Springfield supports steady demand through Mercy and Cox Health, which are among the largest regional employers in the southwest part of the state.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Missouri?
Yes, but they're rare. About 12% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how hands-on the role is by nature. The small share of remote work tends to involve telephone triage, insurance utilization review, or care coordination roles that do not require direct bedside patient contact.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Missouri 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 in Missouri. Employers such as Mercy Health and SSM Health run new-graduate orientation programs designed for LPNs without prior clinical work experience. Certified nursing assistants and medical assistants are the most common lateral hires, since that hands-on background translates directly. Holding a current Missouri LPN license and a Basic Life Support certification before you apply gives you a clear edge over other entry-level candidates.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Missouri?
You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current Missouri openings. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
