Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Wisconsin?

You must complete an approved practical nursing program at a Wisconsin technical college or accredited school, pass the NCLEX-PN exam, and apply for licensure through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. Many Wisconsin technical colleges, including those in the WTCS system, offer LPN programs that qualify graduates to sit for the exam. Once licensed, you must renew your Wisconsin LPN license on the schedule set by the state.

How much do licensed practical nurses make in Wisconsin?

Licensed practical nurses in Wisconsin earn a median of about $63,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,820 for the lowest 10% to over $78,490 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin licensed practical nurse roles are posted by North Shore Health, Advocate Aurora Health, and Champion Care and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Wisconsin's dense network of skilled nursing facilities, critical access hospitals, and large regional health systems creates consistent openings year-round.

Which Wisconsin cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay lead Wisconsin for licensed practical nurse openings. Milwaukee dominates due to its concentration of major health systems and long-term care facilities, while Madison's academic medical community and Green Bay's regional hospital network drive strong hiring in their respective markets.

Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Wisconsin?

Yes, but they're rare. About 21% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on, bedside nature of most LPN work. The limited remote opportunities tend to involve telephone triage, care coordination, or case management roles that some larger Wisconsin health systems offer to experienced LPNs.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities, which consistently hire new LPN graduates across Wisconsin. Large employers like Advocate Aurora Health and SSM Health run new-graduate orientation programs, and many WTCS-affiliated facilities offer clinical-to-hire pipelines. Candidates who have worked as a certified nursing assistant have a clear advantage, since that hands-on background translates directly and is recognized by Wisconsin hiring managers as meaningful preparation.

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