That would have to be for RNs.
Of course New Orleans Hospitals may be higher but the cost of living is higher there also (tourism).
From what I have heard/read Louisiana averages for NEW Nurses are about:

CNA $8-$10
LPN $10-$15
RN $16-$20

THANKS!

Actually it depends where you work.The rehabs pay starting fifteen for LPN's and Private duty about sixteen.However the state correctional is paying my friend twenty-two plus good bennies.You can't beat that.Rn's here make 22 -25-27 if you include diffs.But still it depends on what you are doing.I have a good friend (RN) who works travel and lives here.She got a local contract and is around thirty with great benes.She even get housing and elec. allowances.What it depends on is paying your dues when you are first employed as a nurse and being a good worker who can get good refs.That will take you along way.It has taken me through twelve years and still going.

Good point, however, I was talking base pay averages for new nurses at hospitals, I geuss I should have been more specific, thanks for correcting me.
