    Was this LTC? I'm trying to get an idea of the LPN market in TX. I know alot of hospitals shy away from LPN's.

    Was your first job LTC? I'm trying to get an idea of the LVN market in TX and I have heard alot of hospitals shy away from LPNs.

    When people say low cost of living I always wonder what they mean. I mean house payment vs salary would help. Here I pay $850 for my 1700sq ft house and my starting salary out of LPN school with zero experience was $24 an hour w/ benefits. So to me its a decent starting amount, especially when I also know of RNs making about the same as their base pay less diffs. at the hospitals and other agencies in the area.

    Be Happy, I am an RNC, BSN, CBE, IBCLC and only make $23.00/hr. No benefits. In FL.
    I know this is an older post, but wow! You have a lot of credentialling (sp?) and I feel you should be paid more than $23.00/hr.

    Where I live (Ontario, Canada), RPN/LPN starts at around $25 per hour. The major hospitals in my city also seem to all pay 14% in leiu of benefits...so a new grad working there is getting about $28 to start.

    I work in 65k/year position with the government as an LPN. The part that sucks, Is I am active duty so do not make the 65k my civilian LPN counterpart makes; However, I am getting out soon and have had 2 tennative job offers.
    1. is returning to the exact job I am doing now at 65k (contractor)
    2. getting my research certification and returning as a protocals nurse for 60k (but as DOD with benefits)

    Government Contracting jobs tend to pay higher than average but they are like a temp agency. once contract is up, Government may or may not renew.
