Re: $9.00 per hour as LVN in Orange County? Originally Posted by sweetface

I told her I had not seen that anywhere and that in OC LVN's usually start at 17-19 per hour or more.
Am I way off base here? Do Hospitals hire LVN's at 9.00 per hour or any rate this low? What's the lowest hourly rate any of you have seen in Orange County for LVN's?
Something very fishy with that quote for work as an LVN. And a company cannot racially discriminate. Where was the job offer from? You get more money working at McDonald's in SF than that.
Does that person actually have a legal residency in the US? That is the only thing that I can think of that would get them pay like that...,under the table, and then the employer can get away with anything. There is no documentation.
