Remote LVN Nursing Jobs – Hiring Now
Last updated: October 20, 2026 · By Amna
The numbers and the one fact that sorts this search:
| Figure | What it is |
|---|---|
| $59,730 a year | The BLS national median for LPNs and LVNs combined (OES, May 2024) — the baseline for every post on this page |
| One license, two titles | LVN is the title California and Texas use; LPN is the title the other states use — the same license level under two names |
| No separate LVN median | BLS reports LPNs and LVNs as one occupation — no LVN-only pay figure exists to quote |
| $86,070 a year | The BLS national RN median — the license level above, for scale |
So the short answer: yes, remote seats exist at this license level — phone and record work written for LPNs and LVNs. Search under both titles, read the license line first, and judge each post by its stated duties and pay.
One License, Two Names on the Door
LVN stands for licensed vocational nurse. California and Texas title this license LVN; the other states title the same license LPN — licensed practical nurse. The level is one level: the same family of nursing programs, the same national practical-nurse licensing exam, the same scope family, and one combined occupation in the federal pay data. Nothing about the work changes at a state line — only the letters on the license. Nurses in California and Texas search the title on their own license, and employers post under the title their state uses. A search that uses only one title quietly hides the posts written under the other.
The LPN Page Covers the Same License
Because the license is one license, this site maps the wider field under the majority title: the remote LPN nurse jobs page sorts every remote seat a practical-nurse license opens, across all states. Read that page for the full lane map; this page stays on the LVN cut. One warning: the two pages describe the same pool of posts — if you find the same post under both searches, it is one post. Apply once.
Where an LVN License Opens Remote Seats
The remote seats written at this license level sit on the fact side of plan and care work — each post states its own duties, and the license line on the post is the screen:
- Review support: gathering records, checking documentation for completeness, and preparing cases for the reviewer who decides — the preparation side of utilization review.
- Care coordination support: follow-up calls, appointment and referral tracking, and panel paperwork under a care team’s direction.
- Monitoring support: watching incoming patient data queues and routing what a protocol sends upward, in programs a post describes.
- Documentation and quality support: record work where the judgment is completeness and accuracy against a stated standard.
What these seats share: no hands-on care, a phone and a record as the tools, and duties written at the LPN/LVN level. A post that describes RN-level determinations under this title has blurred its own line — question it before you apply.
The License Line for LVNs
Your license must cover every state the patients on your queue or panel sit in — the license follows the patient, not your desk. Texas sits inside the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a Texas multistate LVN license covers your practical-nurse practice across the compact states. California sits outside the compact, so a California LVN license covers California patients, and a patient state beyond California needs its own license. A multistate license under the compact covers RN and LPN/LVN practice only — the compact never covers APRN practice in any state, which is why posts above this level read on different paperwork. Read the post’s state list before anything else, and verify the roster on NCSBN.org.
What Does It Pay?
Each post states its own pay, and this page quotes no LVN-only figure — plainly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes none, because it reports LPNs and LVNs as a single occupation. The baseline that leads is that combined BLS median: $59,730 a year (OES, May 2024), because these seats hire on this license. The RN median of $86,070 and the NP median of $126,260 mark the levels above. Verify on BLS.gov. Judge a post’s pay against the $59,730 baseline and the duties it describes — a record-preparation queue and a monitoring seat with routing duties are different weeks at the same title.
How to Apply: Step by Step
- Search both titles: “LVN” and “LPN,” each plus “remote,” on official careers pages — employers post under the title their state uses, and national employers use both.
- Read the license line first. If the post names LPN or LVN, the seat is written at your level; if it names RN, the duties below were not written for your license.
- Check the patient-state list against your license — California LVNs in particular, because California sits outside the compact.
- Match the duties to the level: preparation, coordination, monitoring support, documentation — the fact side of the work.
- Write your resume for record judgment: documentation completeness, follow-up volume, accuracy under stated timelines. Use the resume guide.
- Apply on the official site only and keep the confirmation.

Where to Apply
Seats at this license level sit with health plans and care organizations, on their official careers pages. Search both LVN and LPN on each; the employer’s own listing is the real, current post. Applying is always free:
- UnitedHealth Group Careers (UnitedHealthcare and Optum) — search “LVN” and “LPN,” plus “remote.”
- CVS Health Clinical Careers (includes Aetna) — search “LVN” under Clinical.
- The Cigna Group Healthcare Careers — search “LPN” and “LVN” on its healthcare teams.
- Humana Careers — search “LPN” and “care coordination.”
- Centene Careers — search “LVN” under Clinical & Care Management.
The Upside — The Limits
The upside:
- Your license travels under two titles — the post pool doubles once you search both wordings.
- The work is phone and record work: no commute, no bedside load, and duties that build review and coordination experience.
- Texas LVNs hold a compact advantage: a multistate license covers the compact map from one license.
The limits:
- The seat pool at this level is narrower than the RN pool — some weeks, the honest answer is that few posts are written at this level.
- California LVNs face the state line in full: no compact coverage out of a California license.
- No post at this level carries RN duties or RN pay, whatever its title hints.
Red Flags: Protect Yourself
Real employers never charge a fee to apply, never interview only on a chat app, and never ask you to cash a check for equipment. LVN searches draw a specific bait: paid “remote transition” courses and certificate packages pitched as the ticket that converts an LVN license into remote work. No such ticket exists — employers hire on license and the experience their posts state, and train staff on their own systems. The application on the official site is the whole route, and it is free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an LVN the same as an LPN?
Yes, at license level. LVN — licensed vocational nurse — is the title California and Texas use for the license the other states call LPN, licensed practical nurse. Same program family, same national licensing exam, same scope family, and one combined occupation in the BLS pay data. Only the letters on the license differ.
Can LVNs work remotely?
Yes, where the post writes the seat at the LPN/LVN level: review support, care coordination support, monitoring support and documentation work. The license line on the post settles it — if it names LPN or LVN, the seat is written for your license; if it names RN, it is not.
What license do I need for a remote LVN job?
A license covering every state your patients sit in. Texas is a compact state, so a Texas multistate LVN license covers the compact states; California is outside the compact, so a California license covers California patients and other states need their own license. The compact never covers APRN practice. Verify the roster on NCSBN.org.
Should I search “LVN” or “LPN” on careers pages?
Both. Employers post under the title their state uses, and national employers post under both. A California or Texas nurse searching only “LVN” misses the posts written “LPN” — and the pool is the same pool, so apply to any single post once.
How much do remote LVNs make?
Each post states its own pay. The BLS publishes no LVN-only figure — it reports LPNs and LVNs as one occupation, with a national median of $59,730 a year (OES, May 2024). The RN median is $86,070 and the NP median $126,260. Verify on BLS.gov.
How do I know an LVN listing here is current?
We check each job on the official employer site before posting and re-check weekly. Each post shows its verified date. See How We Verify Jobs.
Final tip: Treat “LVN” and “LPN” as one search with two spellings. Run both on every portal, read the license line before the duties, and let the post’s own state list — not its title — tell you whether the seat is open to you.
