Patient Care RN Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a patient care rn in Virginia?

To become a patient care rn in Virginia, you must earn an associate or bachelor's degree in nursing from an accredited program, then pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Licensure is issued by the Virginia Board of Nursing, which oversees all RN credentials in the state. Virginia participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states can practice in Virginia without obtaining a separate state license.

How much do patient care RNs make in Virginia?

Patient care RNs in Virginia earn a median of about $93,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,830 for the lowest 10% to over $125,580 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire patient care rns in Virginia?

Employers hiring patient care rns in Virginia right now include Inova Health, Gentiva, and Sentara, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's dense concentration of large health systems, federal medical facilities, and community hospitals means hiring activity stays consistent throughout the year across the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most patient care rn jobs?

The cities with the most patient care rn openings in Virginia are Fairfax, Williamsburg, and Roanoke. Northern Virginia and Richmond drive the largest share of openings due to the scale of health systems like Inova and VCU Health, while Hampton Roads sees strong volume from Sentara's network of hospitals and the region's large military and veteran healthcare infrastructure.

Are there remote patient care rn jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Patient care rn work is inherently hands-on and bedside-based, so fully remote positions make up a small fraction of all openings. About 0% of patient care rn openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those that exist typically involve telehealth triage, utilization review, or care management rather than direct floor nursing.

How can I get hired as a patient care rn in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to a new graduate nurse residency program, which most large Virginia health systems run specifically for candidates without clinical experience. Inova Health System, VCU Health, and Sentara Healthcare all offer structured residency and transition-to-practice programs for new RNs. Candidates who held roles as a patient care technician, CNA, or nursing extern during school are consistently competitive for these positions, and holding an active Virginia Board of Nursing license before applying gives you a measurable edge.

Where can I find and apply to patient care rn jobs in Virginia?

You can find and apply to patient care rn jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings from employers hiring now. Search the listings, find roles that fit your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
