Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Virginia?

You must complete an accredited practical nursing program, typically a diploma or certificate program lasting about a year, and then pass the NCLEX-PN examination. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Virginia Board of Nursing, which verifies your education, exam results, and background check before issuing your Virginia LPN license. Virginia also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states can practice in Virginia without a separate state license.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Virginia?

Licensed practical nurses in Virginia earn a median of about $64,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,580 for the lowest 10% to over $79,170 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Virginia?

Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Virginia right now include Maxim Healthcare, Riverside Health, and Saber Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems, nursing home chains, and home health agencies consistently post the highest volume of LPN openings across the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Richmond, Manassas, and Chesterfield have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia and Richmond drive the largest share of postings because of the density of major hospital systems, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities anchored there, while Hampton Roads adds significant volume through its network of military-adjacent and community health providers serving a large and geographically spread population.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. About 10% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature. The small slice of remote work that does exist tends to involve telephone triage, care coordination, or utilization review positions that do not require direct bedside care.

How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to long-term care facilities and nursing homes, which hire new LPNs at higher rates than acute care hospitals. Large Virginia employers like Sunrise Senior Living and Kindred at Home regularly onboard new graduates into supervised roles. Obtaining your Virginia LPN license promptly after passing the NCLEX-PN is the single biggest advantage, and candidates who have worked as certified nursing assistants already carry directly transferable clinical skills that resonate with Virginia hiring managers.

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

You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the employer without any intermediary steps.
