How Placement Works

Licensed practical and vocational nurses are the backbone of long-term and post-acute care, and LPN/LVN openings move faster than any other segment of our board. We place practical nurses in travel contracts, local contracts, per diem shifts, and permanent staff roles across skilled nursing, rehab, clinic, correctional, and home health settings.

The Nurse Licensure Compact covers LPNs and LVNs the same way it covers RNs — a multistate license from an NLC home state opens 41 states without extra paperwork. LPN travel contracts typically run 8 to 13 weeks with housing stipends, and per diem work lets you pick individual shifts around your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything healthcare professionals ask us before their first assignment.

What is the difference between an LPN and an LVN?

Nothing except the name. California and Texas use the title Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN); every other state uses Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Education, scope of practice, and NCLEX-PN licensure are equivalent, and facilities treat the titles interchangeably.

Do LPNs get travel contracts with housing stipends?

Yes. LPN travel contracts — most commonly in skilled nursing and long-term care — run 8 to 13 weeks and include the same taxable-wage-plus-stipend structure as RN contracts. Total weekly packages typically range from $1,400 to $2,200 depending on state and setting.

Can LPNs work per diem shifts through Quick2Hire?

Yes. Per diem is one of the most popular options for practical nurses: you pick individual shifts at nearby facilities when it suits your schedule, with no long-term commitment. Many LPNs combine a part-time staff role with per diem shifts to increase income.

Does the compact license cover LPNs and LVNs?

Yes. The Nurse Licensure Compact includes LPNs/LVNs alongside RNs, so a multistate license issued by your NLC home state lets you accept work in all 41 member states immediately. If you live in a non-compact state such as California or New York, you will need a single-state license for each state where you work.
