increased RN pay for prior LPN experience

Updated May 02, 2008 at 04:01 PM by azcactuslady

I am an LPN and have been for 28 yrs and I am getting ready to graduate from an RN program. I was wondering if as an experience hospital LPN if hospitals give you more money for your years as an LPN over starting out at new grad pay. I heard that most hospitals will give you 1/2 of your yrs experience of LPN towards the RN experience pay scale.

yes most facilities do recognize your lpn experience by applying half of those lpn years to years of rn experience. Congratulations! i did the same thing, and it was the best move i could have made. all of those years of experience are really going to help you to ease into the rn role.

I would surely expect something above the new grad rate. Every thing is negotiable, lol. Congratulations on your graduation!
