any LTC/SNF that are LPN supervisors? Curious what the salary range is. I live in FL and have been offered the position that they are basically addding to our arsenal to help improve the state of things. salary.com didn't offer this info.

I'm in Fort Worth, TX.

My unit manager, an LPN, earns $27 hourly to manage our station. She is salaried, and does not get paid one dime over her 40 hours weekly, even though she must work long hours to accomplish necessary tasks.

At my previous workplace, my former ADON (assistant director of nurses) was an LPN who earned a yearly salary of $45,000 per year to basically manage two stations. This was from 2006 to 2008.

I am a LVN and I was a supervisor of a LTC facility in the Bay Area. The pay was $33/hr, 5 days week, non salary, and a lot of OT.

I have a PM LPN In-House Charge nurse. The state does not allow LPN's to be supervisors. She makes $24/hour.

I am a house supervisor and make a little more than a non-supervisory nurse would but it's still under $20/hr.

When I was weekend supervisor I made $28/hour..but this nice hourly wage came with 2 on call phones that rang all the time and one unpredictable staffing book....

LesMon,
13 Yrs experience and still under $20/hr????????????????????????????

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?

I don't understand this. Is this because your cost of living in Missouri is low? I'm starting out as a new grad at just under $18. I have my RN-BSN, but I thought the
$10k/yr drop was due to my status as a new grad.

Zoiks! will I ever get out of debt at such wages?

I believe it is due to the low COL here in MO, for the most part. And I think it's also related to who I work for. Hospital LPNs make less than that, which is why I haven't made the leap yet from LTC to a hospital environment. Hospitals tend to pay their nurses less here no matter what your designation.

Wow,
guess it's all relative. Good thing your C.O.L. is so low. It used to be that way here too, but since moving back after my 10 year absence, I've noticed the C.O.L. here has risen, but the rates of pay have not. Major sticker shock since returning home. VERY disappointed to be in such a great place and working so hard for such crappy wages.
