Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

This topic has been around before, but I was looking for something more up to date. Things have fluctuated in past two years or so. I know people are always looking for salaries and most of the time its for RN's. I'll start ;-)

Around the Cincinnati area here I'm not sure about the starting pay or pay in hospitals for LPN's. But I know LTC facilities are about 16 to start ranging up to about 22. I've seen ad's in the paper saying $24 but I don't know what that was for. Agencys are about 21-25 dollars for LPN's also. I believe Jobs are plentiful around here! Also when I was up in columbus, I heard an instructor saying they are starting their LPN's out with $27-30 while the RN's get about $40-50 ..I don't really believe that, but I just tossed that out there maybe for some clarification?

Just starting my first LPN job here in MI at LTCF and my starting pay is $21.50/hr.

$21.50 for LTCF is awesome. I am interested in LTCF as an option. Can you tell me any additional details on your job? Do you work weekend options? What are your hours like? Benefits? I am from SW Michigan and cannot wait to get through school and get started.. Thanks in advance..

Does anyone work in a state facility? I am curious about what I can expect working at a state psychiatric facility. I probably would work there anyway if offered a position, regardless of pay (within reason) but I would like an idea anyway. :coollook: Any ideas?

Elmira Psychiatric (State run) shows 35K on their job description. This is par for NYState LPNs (DDSO is the same), though I don't know if there is a shift differential. Benefits are very good also.

I'm in Southern Illinois and I currently work in Home Health. Eight years ago I started out at 13.50/hr and am now up to 15.75/hr. That is pretty decent pay for LPN's around here. Several area hospitals start new LPN's out at 11.72 and new RN's out at 18.00.

Specializes in LTC.

What do you mean by less case load? Do you mean the number of patients, or the acuity of cases? I'm asking because I work in a nursing home in Western PA and have 30 people to care for, where the hospital jobs have 5-8 people.

I work in the Bay Area in Solano county (California) at a LTCF and I get $25.40/hr as a new grad with NO shift differential for NOC shift and no benefits. I heard other LTCF in neighboring Napa county pay LVNs up to $27/hr and in San Francisco county up to $30/hr with benefits and shift differential. Clinic LVNs can get paid anywhere in between $20/hr - $28/hr in the bay area. With State Hospitals/Prisons, pay varies depending on geographical location and experience. This can range from $3200/month to $4500/month. The plus side is that there's always OT if u want to work and the benifits are phenominal... at least that's what they told me when I applied there earlier this year. :nurse:
