Orange County to Host LPN and RN Nursing Job Fair February 4

Orange County will bring together licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) with local healthcare employers at a nursing job fair on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. The event is designed to offer on-site interviews, information about open positions, and resources for job seekers considering roles in hospitals, long-term care, home health and other clinical settings.

Organized in partnership with Orange County workforce and health partners, the job fair aims to streamline hiring for employers and reduce barriers for nurses seeking new or different roles in the region. On-site interviews could accelerate placement into vacancies, while informational resources are intended to help candidates understand career pathways and workplace expectations across different care settings.

For Orange County residents, the job fair has direct implications for both employment and public health. Recruiting and retaining nurses across hospitals, long-term care facilities and home health agencies supports continuity of care for older adults, people with chronic conditions and families who rely on in-home services. Strengthening the local healthcare workforce also eases pressure on existing staff and can improve patient experience in clinics and acute-care settings.

The event targets a range of clinical employers across the county. Participants can expect representatives from hospitals, long-term care providers and home health agencies to be present, offering details about open positions, shift patterns and hiring processes. Additional details including time, location, employer list and registration instructions are available on the Orange County Government job fair page and through County employment resources.

Beyond individual hires, the fair is part of broader county efforts to connect residents with stable, skilled work in the healthcare sector. For many prospective nurses, especially those balancing family care or returning to the workforce, on-site interviews and clear information about available roles can reduce friction in re-entering clinical practice or transitioning between care settings. Access to this type of hiring event may also be particularly meaningful for nurses living in neighborhoods with fewer job referral resources.

Nurses interested in attending should visit the Orange County Government job fair page or contact County employment resources to register and review the employer list and event logistics. As Orange County seeks to match clinical needs with local talent, this job fair represents a practical step toward improving staffing and access to care for residents across the county.
