Working as a LPN in Shreveport
LPN work in the Shreveport area is steady and heavily weighted toward skilled nursing and long-term care. A shift usually means medication administration, treatments and wound care, resident assessment, and charting, working with CNAs on a hall.
Louisiana is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an LPN holding a multistate license from another compact state can pick up shifts in Shreveport without applying for a separate Louisiana license. Single-state licensees will need Louisiana licensure through the LSBPNE.
Shreveport has enough LPN shift volume that nurses here often string together a regular schedule from per diem alone, then add weekend or holiday shifts when they want the premium. Rates step up meaningfully for those shifts compared with weekday days.

FAQs about working in Shreveport
How much do per diem LPNs make in Shreveport?
Rates vary by facility, shift, and time of week — nights, weekends, and holidays pay more than weekday shifts. You see the exact rate on every shift in the Switch app before you claim it, so there's no guessing and no negotiating.
Do I need a Louisiana license to work LPN shifts in Shreveport?
Louisiana is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so a multistate LPN license from another compact state works here. Otherwise you'll need Louisiana licensure through the LSBPNE.
How often do LPN shifts post in Shreveport?
New LPN shifts post throughout the week, and you can set the facilities, days, and shift times you want to see. There's no minimum commitment — pick up one shift or build a full schedule.
How fast do I get paid?
Once your shift is approved you can cash out the next day with SwitchPay, rather than waiting on a two-week pay cycle.
What do I need to start working in Shreveport?
An active LPN license (or a valid multistate compact license), current BLS/CPR certification, COVID vaccination or a signed exemption form, and a current TB test (skin or chest X-ray within the past year, or blood test within two years). You'll also take six short skills tests in the app — about five minutes each — and pass a background check. There are no reference checks. Louisiana also requires an 8-hour Dementia in Healthcare training course completed within the past 12 months. You can take it at a discount through the Switch app with our training partner, Relias.
