Go to the link, and look at the bottom of the page when it was updated. The rates indicated above, if I'm reading it correctly, would be as of October 2001.

Where in Mass are they paying $15.00/hr??? I would say that's a rip off & I'd laugh in their faces.
The average I have seen 1st hand is around the $21.50/hr-$24.00/hr range.
I work per diem in home care making $26.40/hr for days & $28.25/hr for evenings/weekends..of course no benefits but it is per diem.....
I would never accept a job for $15.00 /hr as a nurse......

I make $26.00 an hour..

I am an LPN student in Alabama. What is the hourly rate in the Huntsville Alabama area for new grads

[josinda421]

DAME!!! I make $15-16 just being a CNA tech, and I'm going to LPN school. In MD LPN's make 25-28 dollars per hr.

hi, I work in Santa Ana work 12 hour days in a hospital. I make 17.62/hr if I were to work night I would make 21.62/hr. I get 75.oo bonus for working a 4th day and I get time and a half after 40 hours in a week. Also my friend works in a nursing home in LA, she is starting of at 21.00/hr.
hope this helps

I am not from CA, but I thought I'd put some comparison info for you. I'm from Hawaii. Here's the per hour comparison according to the people I know in the hospital.
Hawaii LPN's entry level about $15 to $18
Hawaii LPN with experience $18 to $24
Hawaii RN's entry level (RPN 2 first 6 months as an RN) 27 to 29 dollars
Hawaii RN's with some experience (RPN 3) $33 to $35
Hawaii RN's (RPN 3 with more experience) $35 to $45
Hawaii RN's Head Nurse or Supervisor position's (RPN 4) about $53 to $55
Hawaii RN pay can even go higher depending on your specialty and experience.

Hope you like the comparison info. lol!

Do anyone know the pay for a LPN in metro Atlanta? Everytime I ask or read someone else's column the person that gives the answer beat around the bush. So if there is someone out there please let me knw..Thnks in advance

I was going to ask the same ? I live in Massachusetts and know that LPN's do NOT make 15 as an LPN. I made over 18 as a Medical Assistant. I am taking the boards soon, and all facilities I have gone to so far for a job, have offered nothing less than 22.
