Registered Nurse Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered nurse in Minnesota?
To become a registered nurse in Minnesota, 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. Licensure is granted and maintained through the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Minnesota participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, which means nurses licensed in other compact states may practice in Minnesota without obtaining a separate state license.
How much do registered nurses make in Minnesota?
Registered nurses in Minnesota earn a median of about $101,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,960 for the lowest 10% to over $132,430 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire registered nurses in Minnesota?
Minnesota registered nurse roles are posted by Fairview Health Services, Essentia Health, and Allina Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers generate the most consistent volume of registered nurse openings across the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most registered nurse jobs?
Minneapolis, Maplewood, and Burnsville lead Minnesota for registered nurse openings. The Twin Cities metro drives the highest volume due to its concentration of large hospital systems and specialty care networks, while Rochester's openings are anchored by Mayo Clinic's world-class medical campus, and Duluth serves as the regional healthcare hub for northeastern Minnesota.
Are there remote registered nurse jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Registered nursing is predominantly a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require on-site presence. About 10% of registered nurse openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in telephone triage, care coordination, utilization review, or case management rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a registered nurse in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate nurse residency programs, which large Minnesota employers like Mayo Clinic, Allina Health, and M Health Fairview run specifically for nurses with limited clinical experience. These structured programs place new graduates in med-surg or telemetry units before specialty rotations. Candidates coming from licensed practical nurse or nursing assistant roles have a clear advantage, and holding a current NCLEX-RN pass and Minnesota Board of Nursing licensure is the essential first credential employers look for.
Where can I find and apply to registered nurse jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to registered nurse jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
