Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in North Dakota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in North Dakota?
You become a licensed practical nurse in North Dakota by completing a state-approved practical nursing program, then passing the NCLEX-PN exam and applying for licensure through the North Dakota Board of Nursing. Most programs run about a year and are offered through institutions like Lake Region State College and the ND-CTE practical nursing pathways. Once the Board issues your license, you are eligible to practice statewide, and North Dakota participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, meaning compact licenses from other states are also recognized.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in North Dakota?
Licensed practical nurses in North Dakota earn a median of about $62,300 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,950 for the lowest 10% to over $74,130 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in North Dakota?
North Dakota licensed practical nurse roles are posted by Eventide, TEEMA, and Sanford Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Large integrated health systems and long-term care networks in the state drive the most consistent volume, particularly in the Fargo and Bismarck corridors.
Which North Dakota cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
West Fargo, Fargo, and Williston have the most licensed practical nurse openings in North Dakota. Fargo leads because of its concentration of large health systems and affiliated long-term care facilities, while Bismarck draws volume from state government health services and regional medical centers, and Grand Forks benefits from a strong hospital and university health presence that sustains steady nursing demand.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in North Dakota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which hire new graduates more readily than hospitals and often provide on-the-job orientation. Sanford Health and CHI St. Alexius Health both post new-grad licensed practical nurse roles with structured onboarding in North Dakota. Certified nursing assistant experience is a strong differentiator and a common lateral step into licensed practical nurse roles. Having your NCLEX-PN passed and your North Dakota Board of Nursing license active before you apply removes the main barrier employers cite.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in North Dakota?
You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in North Dakota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to North Dakota employers. Search for roles that match your credentials and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit your situation.
