    Hello, I'm curious to know the types of LPN positions and respective salaries in Iowa. Also I'm interested in knowing if there is a state institution (something like an "Iowa State Hospital" that cares for mentally retarded/developmentally disabled adults,criminally insane, etc populations) and if so, where is that located and what are the salaries for LPNs there? Thanks for any input!:spin:

    Hi,

    In the Quad cities LPN's make approx. 15.00 to 17.00 in LTC. Agency pays $20.00/hr.

    Can't speak for hospital wages.

    Yes we have one such place it is called Woodward state hospital in woodward IA. There are also a lot of places around Iowa that provide services to MR individuals in their homes.

    There are 4 State Hospitals ( psychiatric facilities ) in Iowa. One in each corner of the State. I can't attest to the wages of LPN's but they generally earn about $1.00 more an hour than do RTW's ( Resident Treatment Workers ) which are the equivalent of a CNA ( Certified Nursing Assistant ).
    After working 26 yrs as an RTW my current wage is: roughly $19.60 an hour. I work in NW Iowa.

    My class recently toured MHI in Independence. Several in our class live close & are interested in working there. We were told it is really hard to get on in these facilities mainly because they do pay better & it's a govt job. They don't have much turnover.
