Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)

Take control of your career: Build your LPN schedule around your life

Independent licensed practical nurses like you use ShiftKey to connect with a nationwide network of hospitals. You bid on the shifts that match your preferences, and you choose your rate.

• PACU / Recovery
• Postpartum / Mother Baby Unit

Whether you're looking for extra income, better work/life balance or more control over when you work, ShiftKey gives you the freedom to:

Take control of your schedule: Skip night shifts, keep your Mondays free, keep time open for school pick up. You work only when it makes sense for you.

Earn on your terms: Use ShiftKey to earn extra income, even if you have another job. You can get paid instantly through ShiftKey Wallet,* have instant payments sent to an existing debit card,** or opt for direct deposit.

Find the right environment: Flexible acute LPN shifts give you the opportunity to experience a variety of hospital settings and choose what works best for you.
