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.
