Sometimes names can be deceiving. For example, a lot of people ask us if we only offer travel positions to registered nurses because we are called TravelNurseSource. Well, the good news is that we have travel jobs for LPNs, too! What’s even better is that there are many types of LPN travel nursing jobs for you to choose from. That’s right, contrary to popular belief in nursing, there is a world of opportunities for practical nurses (LVNs and LPNs)! The bottom line is that practical nurses have similar opportunities as RNs, and that includes many different types of travel nursing jobs. So, let’s explore the benefits of becoming a traveling LPN nurse, what your salary might look like, and how to get started as soon as possible!lpn travel nursing jobs

The Benefits of LPN Travel Nursing Jobs

Let’s jump right into the benefits of this job. Just like traveling RNs, traveling LPNs can also apply for nursing assignments in locations all around the U.S. This includes everywhere from sunny California to scenic New England. Working as a practical nurse is also a smart way to experience the ins and outs of the nursing field step by step. This is a good alternative to trying to master the entire profession all at once as a new graduate RN. Placing yourself in a variety of different healthcare settings will help you build up a lot of experience. This will open up new doors for you in the future, whether you stick with travel nursing or choose a permanent position.

Through these experiences, you will learn so many new skills in a short amount of time. As a travel LPN, you will be filling temporary positions in facilities across the nation. The average assignment lasts about 13 weeks. If you choose to become a full-time travel LPN, this means you will have work multiple assignments every year. With each assignment comes new patients and new procedures, so you will gain a lot from this experience. But wait, there’s more. As we said before, LPNs can solidify their practical nursing skills first by traveling. Then, they can build on those skills with RN training later on. This should earn you an even higher salary later down the line!

Compensation for LPN Travel Nursing Jobs

We have some more good news for you! As a traveling LPN, your hard work will pay off. These employers know you are going to great lengths to help them out. Therefore, a traveling LPN is paid a higher salary than most LPNs in permanent staff positions. But, in order to earn the most from your travel LPN job, you need to do your research. We have plenty of resources on this blog and on our website that will assist you in finding an agency that best suits your needs. If you’re just getting started, it’s really important to find out which travel agencies have the most assignments in the region of the country you are most interested in traveling to. For those who do their research, are persistent, and allow themselves to dream big – almost endless opportunities await!

  2. hi
    i wanted to ask if there is a possibility of hiring a new grad for travel nursing job. particularly in cruises? can anyone give me a lead on this.
    yours,
    Dolores Tan

  3. This is not a comment. this is a question. Do you have to be an R-N,to be a traving nursen or could you be an L-P-N. Thank you. Lechell Bailey

  4. Sorry, the positions that we’re recruiting for only accept RNs. However, we DO recruit Med Techs, Surg Techs, COTAs, PTs, OTs and many other qualified candidates! 🙂

  5. I just want to say that as an LVN we work as hard as RNs . Why is it that LVNs don’t get nearly the recognition as the RNs? 9 out of 10 travel jobs are for the Rn while the LVN work just as hard if not harder than the RN.
    I jusy want to know why the big difference in the way we are paid and treated.
    Thanks
