LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

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?

Graduating in December.

What is the LPN job situation like in the Asheville NC/surrounding areas like?

Any information would be truly appreciated.

Thank You!:heartbeat

I live in San Bernadino County and the pay sucks I have been an LVN for 13 years and I only make 17.50 and this i just after being here 2 years I came from L.A. making 22.00/hr so your 17.50 for new grad is pretty good compared to mines.:banghead:

Wife works out there too and makes $24-$25hr look around the good jobs are out there. Wife also came from LA to SB county as well. SHe actually makes more in SB now. But, she did have to shuffle once or twice to land it.

Wow it is amazing the different rates of pay.. I work here in East Tennessee about 20 minutes north of knoxville, TN and I make $17 an hour I have been there for exactly 1 year and 6 months.. My wife is also an LPN there and she makes $18.88 an hour and she has been there 4 years and 2 months. That does include our $.50 night shift diff too.

WOW! I looked up the crime stats in Lake City, TN and it is a 8 out of 10. 10 being Iraq! You would think they would pay better with all the "customers"...lol

I'm in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

Nursing homes pay LVNs between $18 and $25 around here. Home health agencies pay an average of $30 per visit. Don't even ask about hospitals and clinics, because they pay pitifully around here.

Since the Austin job market is flooded with too many LVNs, I would say that DFW pays better. In addition, Austin has an expensive cost of living (for Texas standards).
