LPN hourly pay rate


Hi everybody

Can anyone tell me how much that LPN make an hour, specially in Florida? I am a new graduate and I am still looking for job, but nada. One more question: what to put in the application where they ask you what is your desired salary? Should I put "Negotiable" or do not put anything? Actually, I never put anything. I am in Port St Lucie, I think that I am going to relocated, because it is very difficult to find an LPN position there. Can anyone tell me how the LPN jobs are in NY? I am thinking of moving back there. Thank you everybody. I am desperate for a job. I think if I find a CNA position I will take it, I don't know if I will get hired as CNA with my LPN licensed.

Default Re: LPN hourly pay rate
Hi welcome!
I'm giving you a link to an ongoing thread regarding LPN salaries all over the country.

If you can help it, please do not work as a CNA if you are a new grad LPN. You will not get the experience you need and it will not look great on your resume for future jobs. I would encourage you to apply even at places that aren't where you imagined yourself working, just to get experience working as an LPN. After a while you can then reapply to those more desirable jobs with some experience under your belt. Best of luck in the job search!
