I bet you it's a painful amount... any replies will be very welcome. Also, how is it living in Hartford area? are there jobs to be had (LPN)? I was looking online and seems like rent is a bit steep...can you live comfortably on your pay without having to live check to check?

I am a new LPN Graduated last june and my job as a charge nurse in a ltc rehab unit I make 22.70/hr plus full bennies double time and a half for holidays not to bad for a new nurse

Also, are you familiar w/ Masonic Hospital?
Just wondering what they start new grads out w/ oin Rehab or ltc.
I appreciate all your help!

From my experience, it varies on whether or not you go through an agency. I joined the agency Maxim 2 years ago and actually make a significant amount more than i did when i was just working at the facility. I have benefits and the same amount of flexibility too.

I think pay depends on alot of things, mainly experience and the shift that you decide to take. Also the location you decide to work in. I am sure you'll get paid more for working a night or evening shift versus a day shift. Julesar is right too, you can get paid more working for an agency than a facility. I haven't worked for an agency as a nurse yet, but I have as a CNA. When I contracted with the agency to go to a certain facility that later hired me as regular staff, I was getting paid more working for the agency, a whole $3.00 more for the same work.

What hospital is that in New Orleans? Do you have to have a year experience to get paid that much? What do they pay you fresh out of school? I live in Metairie.

As a Registered Dental Hygienist, the pay rate for new grads is around $38++ in Fairfield County. That also is not fair in my opinion. New Haven Cty does pay less though. I am amazed that the staff RN rates are $63K for New Britain!
Wow 28 and hr in 2005? My goodness. Just goes to show you where there is a need, pay goes up. Thats why RNs make so much. I am a physio with a harder program but get less than an RN. However I am more satisfied. So I see what you are saying.
