Texas is one place where all the clichés are true. Everything really is bigger in Texas. From the portions of BBQ and Tex/Mex to the wide expanse of sky over rugged terrain, the Lone Star State doesn’t disappoint.

Although modern cities dot the vast landscape, Texas has proudly stayed true to its wild roots. In San Antonio they still “Remember the Alamo” and you can walk the same paths as folk hero’s James Bowie and Davy Crockett. A river runs through this amazing city and you can stroll or take a boat ride to visit the stores and restaurants that line the water.

For a taste of the unusual, visit the quirky city of Austin where locals abide by their small business motto to “keep Austin weird.” Food trucks of all shapes and sizes sell every possible delicacy from cupcakes to the famous Torchy’s Tacos. On Rainey Street, houses have been converted into bars, which makes you feel like you are attending an intimate backyard party with close friends, even if you don’t know a soul! Going out on the infamous 6th Street isn’t for the faint of heart. Two step your way over to Dallas and catch a rowdy rodeo where the collegial atmosphere will remind you that the Texas state motto is “Friendship.”

Texas is bursting with outdoor adventure opportunities as well. With 16 national parks and over 350 miles of coastline, it’s easy to escape for a much needed dose of Mother Nature.

The #1 .cls-1{fill:#9ce7a7;stroke-width:0px;} Rated Travel Nursing Agency

Check out these reviews from real host healthcare travelers..

Host Healthcare is amazing! Best travel co out there! Amanda is the recruiter I have & she is wonderful. She is there from the beginning. From searching for the perfect assignment throughout completion of a contract - Amanda is there for me! Host Healthcare treats their nurses so well

Amanda Goad is the most amazing recruiter I have worked with. She is the most responsive and go-getter. She is in constant contact with you or hospitals to get you offers and/or advocating for you. She is super motivated and helpful. If you have the opportunity to use her, you will not regret it.

Needed to move across country to be next to my partner, but blindly jumping into a full time job for a hospital system I was not familiar with was out of the question. Host Healthcare (Natalie G specifically) stood by me and helped me fulfill my absurdly specific requests. I was a first time time traveler and I couldn't have made it without the support I received!

Just finished my first contract with Host Healthcare (fifth overall) and they were amazing! Specifically my recruiter Jenny Berroth. Jenny was so helpful and easy to communicate with. I had a couple issues come up and Jenny was all over them and took care of everything so I could just concentrate on being a nurse, while she handled the rest. I can’t recommend Host and Jenny enough! You have to give Host and Jenny a try, you’ll be glad you did!

For the most up-to-date information on licensure requirements and fees, visit the Texas Board of Nursing website or contact them at (512) 305-7400 .

Licensure Requirements

Since Texas has enacted the Nurse Licensure Compact , you won’t need to get a state-specific nursing license to work there if you already have a multistate license in another compact state if you are a travel nurse. 

However, if you are a nurse who currently lives in a compact state and intends to establish permanent residency in another compact state, you will need to apply for  licensure by endorsement within 60 days of relocating. This law does not apply to travel nurses and will become enforced on January 2nd, 2024. 

If you are a travel nurse and your primary license is in a non-compact state, you are required to apply for licensure by endorsement. To complete this process, you must have:

• Graduated from an approved licensed LPN, LVN, or RN program; or
• Either worked in nursing or taken the US NCLEX ® exam no more than four years before the application 

To apply for a licensure by endorsement you must:

• Submit an online application and pay the fee
• Provide a background check with fingerprints 
• Take the Nursing Jurisprudence Examination
• Request a verification of licensure via Nursys Ⓡ

You are ineligible to apply for licensure by endorsement if:

• You have ever held a Texas nursing license
• You didn’t graduate from an approved nursing program; or
• You haven’t taken a national nursing licensing examination

While you are waiting for your application to be processed, the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) will give you a one-time, 120-day temporary license. This licensure will be issued once your fingerprints and verification have been received by the BON. Temporary licenses are only issued once a lifetime and may not be renewed or extended. 

You can apply online for a license by endorsement here . 

Licensure Fees

The application fee for licensure by endorsement in Texas is $150, coupled with a $72 Nursing Jurisprudence Examination fee. All fees are non-refundable.

Nurse Licensure Compact Status

Texas has been a part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) since January 19, 2018.

Is Texas a Walk-Through State?

Texas is not a walk-through state.

Texas nurses are required to:

1. Complete 20 contact hours of continuing education every two years; or 

2. Demonstrate the achievement, maintenance, or renewal of a Board-approved national nursing certification in the nurse’s area of practice within the licensing period.

Interested in the numbers regarding Texas travel nurse pay? Qualified travel nurses receive an average base salary of about $2,002 per week , which is close to the national average

However, the cost of living in Texas is also around eight percent below the national average. So the money you earn can go a long way, especially depending upon which city you choose.

And don’t forget to factor in all the extras you’ll receive as a travel nurse, such as:

• Travel and meal allowances
• A housing stipend

LPN Education Requirements

In order to become a Licensed Practical Nurse you will need to complete a formal training and educational program. LPN education programs are typically offered by vocational schools, community colleges, or technical institutes and are available in various formats, including in-person and online options.

Program Length: LPN programs generally range from 12 to 24 months, depending on the specific program and institution. The duration may vary based on factors such as full-time or part-time enrollment.

Curriculum: LPN education programs cover a comprehensive range of subjects and skills to equip students with the knowledge and abilities necessary for entry-level nursing practice. The curriculum typically includes coursework in anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, mental health nursing, and nursing ethics. Students also receive practical training through supervised clinical experiences in healthcare settings, allowing them to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.

Classroom Instruction: LPN programs incorporate classroom instruction to provide students with a solid theoretical foundation. In the classroom, students learn about medical terminology, nursing principles, patient care techniques, and relevant healthcare laws and regulations. They also participate in discussions, lectures, and interactive learning activities to deepen their understanding of nursing concepts.

Clinical Training: Hands-on clinical training is a crucial component of LPN education. Students are typically assigned to healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, or long-term care facilities, where they work under the supervision of experienced nurses and healthcare professionals. During this clinical training, students gain practical experience in performing nursing procedures, administering medications, taking vital signs, providing patient care, and communicating with patients and their families.

Licensing Exam: LPN education programs aim to prepare students for the licensing examination required to become licensed practical nurses. The curriculum often includes exam-specific content review and test-taking strategies to help students succeed in the licensing examination, such as the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN).

How To Get Licensed

Application: After completing the educational program, the next step is to submit an application for licensure to the appropriate licensing board or regulatory body. The application typically requires providing personal information, educational background, and sometimes a fee.

Background Check: Many jurisdictions require LPN candidates to undergo a criminal background check. This is to ensure the candidate does not have any disqualifying criminal history that may impact their ability to safely provide nursing care.

Licensing Exam: LPN candidates are usually required to pass a standardized licensing examination, such as the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). The exam assesses the candidate’s knowledge and competence in various areas of nursing practice. It covers topics such as patient care, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal and child health, and psychiatric nursing. The exam is typically computer-based and consists of multiple-choice questions.

State-Specific Requirements: In addition to the national licensing exam, some jurisdictions may have additional state-specific requirements. These may include additional examinations, fingerprinting, or specific documentation that needs to be submitted.

Licensure: Once the candidate has successfully completed the educational requirements and passed the licensing examination, they are granted an LPN license by the licensing board or regulatory body. This license allows them to legally practice as an LPN within the jurisdiction.

It’s important to note that the specific requirements and processes for LPN licensure can differ between states or countries, so it’s essential to consult the appropriate licensing board or regulatory body in the specific jurisdiction for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Can LPNs Be Travel Nurses?

Can LPNs do travel nursing? Short answer: yes . Long answer: If you’re a recent graduate you might find it difficult to find a travel nursing agency or a facility that is willing to hire a travel LPN without any experience. More likely you’ll be required to work as a perm LPN for 1-2 years before being considered as a candidate for travel. If travel is your goal you should start the conversation with an agency now and work toward your travel nursing goal with clear expectations in mind.

What Are The Requirements For Being A Travel LPN?

Each and every state has slightly different requirements and those requirements are likely to change from year to year. All states require that you obtain your nursing license for the state in which you’ll be working. Everything that goes along with that is included such as a background check, the application process and fee, and the (sometimes) long wait to receive your license. This usually takes 6-8 weeks. Most LPN positions are with hospitals, long term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and in home health care. If you’re taking on a role within a hospital setting they will likely have their own policies and procedures that you’ll be required to follow as well. The NCLEX-PN is also required for LPNs.

How Much Do LPNs Earn?

• Nationwide Average Hourly Rate: $28.11
• Nationwide Median Base Salary: $51,354
• Nationwide Average Overtime Pay: $7,750

Source: Indeed.com & U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)

In the United States, the median annual wage for LPNs was around $48,820 with an average closer to $51,354. The lowest 10% of LPNs earned less than approximately $35,740, and the highest 10% earned more than about $65,510. Travel LPNs typically earn upwards of 10%-15% more than staff LPNs.

What Factors Affect LPN Salaries?

• Location: The state you’re in and even the city where you’re working will factor into LPN/LVN Pay. Higher density population centers tend to pay more due to higher demand and increased cost of living. Likewise, more rural areas often offer lower salaries. The one exception to this is travel. Travel LPN jobs will often offer more pay, even when taking an assignment in a more remote location.
• Facility: Each facility will offer different pay. Typically if two facilities are located near each other the pay will be similar. However, there are several factors such as demand, nursing shortages, number of beds, etc. that can affect how much a facility is willing to offer. Facility locations play a huge role in factoring LPN salary.
• Travel vs Perm: Travel LPN Jobs will typically offer a higher base pay for LPNs and LVNs. There are additional benefits such as housing stipends, travel reimbursements, paid housing, and bonuses. Because of this, many LPNs prefer travel LPN assignment vs working in a perm position. Obviously there are pros and cons to each. But when pay is concerned, travel LPN jobs will most often pay more.

Which States Do LPNs Earn The Most?

• Highest Paying States: Nevada, Alaska, California, Delaware, Rhode Island, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
• Lowest Paying States: West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Dakota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia.
• Disclaimer: While it is generally true that the states listed above fall into their respective categories, as a travel LPN you’ll be offered pay that often exceeds the local average. In fact, in addition to your pay and bonuses, you’ll often be offered paid housing. Additionally the lowest paying states are often that way because cost of living is lower there. If you can get paid well, while living in a location with a low cost of living it can make a big difference in your quality of life.

What’s The Difference Between LPNs and LVNs?

There is, essentially, no difference except in name. Texas and California use the title Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) while the rest of the states in the US use the title Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). There are several minor distinctions with regard to duties and responsibilities. However, these differences are from state to state within the LPN distinction as well. Essentially, the state dictates what your role will be, not the title of LVN vs LPN. Regardless, LPNs and LVNs work under the supervision of RNs and physicians. Both LPNs and LVNs have to pass the NCLEX-PN.
