Nursing Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing in Kansas?
To become a licensed nurse in Kansas, you must complete an accredited nursing program, either an associate degree in nursing or a bachelor of science in nursing, then pass the NCLEX-RN exam. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Kansas State Board of Nursing. Kansas participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses already licensed in another compact state can practice in Kansas without obtaining a separate Kansas license.
How much do nursings make in Kansas?
Nursings in Kansas earn a median of about $38,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $32,180 for the lowest 10% to over $46,980 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nursings in Kansas?
Employers hiring nursings in Kansas right now include Good Samaritan, Americare Senior Living, and Brookdale Senior Living, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Kansas's large integrated health systems and regional critical access hospitals are the most consistent sources of full-time nursing openings across the state.
Which Kansas cities have the most nursing jobs?
Overland Park, Wichita, and Shawnee lead Kansas for nursing openings. Wichita anchors the state's largest concentration of hospital and specialty clinic hiring, Kansas City draws volume from major academic medical centers and multi-hospital systems just across the metro area, and Topeka maintains steady demand through its state government facilities, regional hospitals, and long-term care networks.
Are there remote nursing jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of nursing openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how hands-on most nursing roles are by nature. The positions most likely to be fully remote are telephone triage nursing, utilization review, case management, and insurance authorization roles that don't require direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a nursing in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a new graduate nurse residency program. The University of Kansas Health System, Ascension Via Christi, and Stormont Vail Health all run structured residency programs designed for nurses with no post-graduation experience, typically placing residents in medical-surgical, telemetry, or step-down units first. Completing your NCLEX before applying and holding a Kansas nursing license, even if newly issued, gives your application a clear edge over candidates still awaiting results.
Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in Kansas?
You can find and apply to nursing jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Kansas openings from hospitals, health systems, and outpatient employers across the state.
