    Open LPN & LVN Travel Contracts

    Travel LPN jobs concentrate where licensed practical nurses are needed most: nursing and skilled-care facilities, where steady resident populations and ongoing staffing gaps keep the listings turning over week after week. Most run about 13 weeks with weekly pay, and many LPNs prefer the day and evening hours these facilities tend to offer over hospital nights. A smaller share of home health, clinic, and rehab roles fills out the rest. New LVN and LPN positions go up throughout the day, with the board synced about every 30 minutes. Filter by setting, shift, or state, and open any job for full pay and contract details.

    LPN Travel in Long-Term Care & Skilled Nursing

    Licensed practical nurses cluster in long-term care more than any other setting: about 37% work in nursing and residential care facilities, well ahead of hospitals at 16%, with home health and physicians' offices next at roughly 12% each, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. BLS counts about 651,400 LPN and LVN jobs nationally and projects roughly 54,400 openings a year through 2034, most of them replacing nurses who leave the field. That replacement demand is demographic: with the LPN workforce at a median age near 50 (NCSBN), roughly half are 50 or older and edging toward retirement, even as an aging population keeps demand rising in residential and home-based care. Supply is not keeping pace. The Health Resources and Services Administration projects U.S. LPN adequacy will slide from about 83% in 2028 to 70% by 2038, a shortfall near 245,950 nurses and a far steeper gap than HRSA projects for registered nurses. In daily practice, LPNs deliver hands-on care under RN and physician direction: medications, vital signs, wound care, and charting, and in many states trained LPNs also start IV therapy, with scope set by each state board. Titled the LVN in California and Texas and the LPN elsewhere, the role shares one NCLEX-PN exam, and a Nurse Licensure Compact license lets eligible nurses work across about 43 jurisdictions, while non-compact states require licensure by endorsement.

    Good to Know

    FAQs – LPN Travel Nursing Jobs

    How much do LPN travel jobs pay?
    Pay on LPN travel contracts shows as a live weekly rate on each one, shaped by acuity, shift, and overtime rather than a fixed number. The market snapshot above gives the current range so you can weigh any posting against it. Long-term acute care and other hard-to-fill work tends to pay at the higher end; open any job for its exact weekly rate.
    What settings do LPN travelers work in?
    Most LPN travel assignments are in long-term care and skilled nursing, the core of where licensed practical nurses are needed and where Advantis places most travelers. You will also see home health roles and the occasional inpatient rehab, clinic, or hospital-floor opening. Use the setting filter above to focus on the environment you prefer.
    How long are LPN travel contracts?
    Most run about 13 weeks, though you will also see shorter 8-week and longer 26-week contracts. Extensions are common when a facility wants to keep you, and your recruiter can line up your next assignment before the current one ends.
    Do I need a compact or multistate license?
    A compact, or multistate, license lets eligible LPNs work in any participating state on a single license. If your assignment is in a non-compact state, you will need that state's LPN license, usually by endorsement. Our License Center walks through each state's requirements, and your Clinician Advocate helps you get licensed in time to start.
    Is an LPN the same as an LVN?
    Yes. LVN, licensed vocational nurse, is the title used in California and Texas; every other state uses LPN, licensed practical nurse. The education, scope of practice, and NCLEX-PN licensing exam are the same, so these results cover both, and a multistate compact license lets eligible LPNs and LVNs travel across participating states on one license.
    How often are new LPN jobs posted?
    New LPN and LVN positions post throughout the day, with the board synced about every 30 minutes, so the openings you see are current. Set a job alert to get a text the moment a posting matching your location and preferences goes live, no account needed.
    What support comes with an Advantis LPN assignment?
    Advantis LPN travelers get Day One medical, dental, vision, and 401(k); weekly direct deposit; travel and housing stipend support; and dedicated licensing, onboarding, and credentialing help. A Clinician Advocate stays with you from the first call to the last day of the contract. Open any posting for its specifics, or set a job alert to hear about new LPN openings first.
