Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Washington?

To become a licensed practical nurse in Washington, you must complete an accredited practical nursing program and pass the NCLEX-PN examination, then apply for licensure through the Washington State Department of Health Nursing Commission. Washington participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses holding an active compact license from another member state may practice in Washington without obtaining a separate state license, provided Washington is not their primary state of residence.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Washington?

Licensed practical nurses in Washington earn a median of about $83,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,230 for the lowest 10% to over $100,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Washington?

Employers hiring licensed practical nurses in Washington right now include MGA Homecare, Avalon Health Care, and Wellpath, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems and its network of rural critical access hospitals both maintain steady LPN hiring across inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care settings throughout the state.

Which Washington cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Tacoma, Olympia, and Seattle have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Washington. Seattle drives the largest share of postings through its concentration of major hospital campuses, outpatient specialty clinics, and urban community health centers, while Spokane and Tacoma reflect substantial hiring from regional health systems and the long-term care facilities that serve their sizable and growing senior populations.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Washington?

Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is an inherently hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 8% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are most commonly found in telephonic care coordination, utilization review, or case management roles that carry an LPN credential requirement.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which in Washington consistently hire new LPNs directly from NCLEX-PN passage without requiring prior work history. Large employers such as Providence Health and Services and MultiCare Health System run new-graduate transition programs and offer supervised onboarding tracks for early-career LPNs. Candidates coming from certified nursing assistant or medical assistant roles have a meaningful advantage, as Washington facilities frequently promote internally from those positions into LPN openings once licensure is obtained.

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

You can find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings updated on an ongoing basis. Search the available roles, identify the ones that fit your experience and preferred setting, and apply directly to the positions that match.
