Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Ohio?

To become a licensed practical nurse in Ohio, you must complete a state-approved practical nursing program, typically offered at community colleges and vocational schools, then pass the NCLEX-PN exam. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Ohio Board of Nursing, which issues the official LPN license required to practice in the state. Ohio also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing nurses licensed in other compact states to practice in Ohio without a separate license.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Ohio?

Licensed practical nurses in Ohio earn a median of about $61,950 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,030 for the lowest 10% to over $74,120 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Ohio?

Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Ohio right now include Maxim Healthcare, White Glove Placement, and Interim HealthCare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's large integrated health systems, skilled nursing chains, and home health agencies maintain some of the most consistent LPN hiring volumes in the Midwest.

Which Ohio cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Ohio. Columbus leads because of its concentration of major health systems and the region's rapid population growth, while Cleveland and Cincinnati anchor large academic medical centers, long-term care networks, and specialty clinics that together sustain high ongoing LPN demand across the state.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Ohio?

Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site patient care. About 7% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically limited to telephone triage, care coordination, or utilization review roles that do not involve direct bedside care.

How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Ohio 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. Large Ohio operators such as Trilogy Health Services and Otterbein Senior Life regularly bring on new LPNs and offer structured orientation programs. Completing a clinical externship during your practical nursing program at an Ohio facility strengthens your application considerably, and holding an active Ohio Board of Nursing license with a clean background check is the single most important credential for getting past initial screening.

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

You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across health systems, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, and specialty clinics. Find a role that fits and apply directly to the employer from the listing.
