Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) Jobs

LVN Jobs Overview

As a licensed vocational nurse (LVN), you're a critical component of many healthcare systems. LVN jobs are essential for the proper implementation of direct care.

The outlook for LVN jobs is promising, with an expected increase of 3% over the next decade. That comes to around 16,900 additional positions, which would bring the total number of LVN professionals to just below 675,000. If you're seeking an LVN job, now is a great time to be looking. Jobs for LVN professionals are expected to be in continued demand thanks to the prevalence of certain chronic conditions, as well as the inevitable aging of the baby boomer population. Find your next LVN job on IntelyCare today.

LVN Education and Skills

To become an LVN (known as an LPN in states other than California and Texas), you must complete a certified practical or vocational nursing certificate program and then pass the NCLEX-PN national exam. Doing so legally permits you to hold licensed vocational nurse jobs.

You'll probably need to obtain basic life support (BLS) certification for most jobs. To advance your clinical training, consider pursuing additional certifications that pertain to your area of nursing, such as:

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
IV certification
Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS)
S.T.A.B.L.E.

If you’re curious about the types of hard and soft skills that employers like to see in candidates, review our LVN job description sample for more information.

LVN Resume and Cover Letter

A strong resume and cover letter can help set you apart from other candidates pursuing vocational nurse jobs. The key is to look at the job ad and see what requirements are featured, then match up your skills accordingly. For example, if a job ad says the ideal candidate has “experience supervising nursing assistants and aides” as one of their top qualifications, your LVN resume should include that phrase — and if you can include the actual number of people you supervised, that would be a bonus.

Your cover letter should feature a line or two about your experience overseeing aids and assistants and how it taught you the importance of clear, concise communication. Our cover letter sample can show you what else you might want to include when applying to jobs for LVN professionals.

Interviewing for an LVN Job

No matter how comfortable and confident you are going into a job interview, it never hurts to practice in advance. Review examples of common LVN interview questions and prepare smart answers.

Remember that interviews give you a chance to ask some questions to your potential employer, not just vice versa. Inquire about what the organization’s culture is like, if they have any training for new employees, how you’ll be evaluated, and any other questions that might help give you a better understanding of the job.

Ways of Working

You’ll find LVN job openings in a variety of facility types, including hospitals, clinics, and long-term care settings. You also have your choice of the kinds of schedules you work. In addition to full-time and part-time jobs, there are also temporary assignments, contract options, and per diem shifts available. You can also explore travel LVN jobs and remote LVN jobs.

LVN Specialty Areas

If you're trained in a specialty area, you can search for jobs in that field. Here are some examples:

Salary for Licensed Vocational Nurse Jobs

LVN jobs pay an average salary of $64,150 per year, or $30.84 per hour. Your salary can be affected by your years of experience, level of education, the type of facility that employs you, and your location.

For example, in California, the Los Angeles area pays an average $77,250, and the San Diego area pays an average $77,930. In Texas, the Houston area pays an average $62,720, and the San Antonio area pays an average $60,800.
