Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Pennsylvania?
You become a licensed practical nurse in Pennsylvania by completing an approved practical nursing program, then passing the NCLEX-PN exam and applying for licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Most approved programs are offered through community colleges and vocational technical schools and run roughly one year. Once the State Board issues your license, you are eligible to practice in Pennsylvania and in any other state participating in the Nurse Licensure Compact.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Pennsylvania?
Licensed practical nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $63,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,500 for the lowest 10% to over $77,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, BAYADA Home Health Care, and Interim HealthCare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's dense network of long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and large academic health systems means hiring tends to be ongoing rather than seasonal.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates volume because of its concentration of academic medical centers and skilled nursing facilities, while Pittsburgh's market is driven by UPMC's extensive regional footprint, and Allentown reflects the growing Lehigh Valley health corridor anchored by Lehigh Valley Health Network.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site work with patients. About 0% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and most of those involve telephone triage, utilization review, or care coordination functions rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which hire new graduates more readily than hospital systems. UPMC and Genesis Healthcare both operate structured new-graduate onboarding tracks at Pennsylvania facilities. Candidates who have worked as a certified nursing assistant or patient care technician gain a meaningful advantage because that experience demonstrates clinical familiarity. Holding an active Pennsylvania LPN license and a current BLS certification is the baseline every hiring manager expects before reviewing a new-grad application.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
