A Poll of actual LPN/LVN wages in the U. S. for nurses working directly at the bedsid

Tiger,

Actually in this poll it really does not make that much of a difference. This is a general polling.

I have worked as regular staff with all the benefits at lower rates. I have worked as perdium, contingent, local agency at a higher rate of pay without benefits. I have also worked local and travel agency at a higher rate of pay with benefits.

So this should be based solely on hourly wage alone.

You can start a poll about agency or regular staff if you so choose.

Just keep in mind that institutions all across the country pay out enough money that some local and the biggest percentage of travel agencies are able to provide good benefits to the nurse who agree to provide services for them, and they still make enough of a profit to grow.

So do hospitals and others who use agency pay higher hourly salaries and still pay for good benefits? You bet they do. Plus they pay extra on top of it.
