Re: LPN starting pay $26.50!
In Chicago starting pay is 21-24 an hour. Any new grads who want a job here get in contact with me. I can get you in at my facility for 22 an hour. 24 w/o benefits. As long as you have passed the nclex is some state you can start right away lis pending.
basically here in the chicagoland pay is a bit higher in the suburbs as is cost of living (sort of, its a bit more complicated.) to give you an idea, I rent rooms in my apt for 350 a month. a 1 br in my neighborhood is 650 utilities included.
There are very high paying jobs like 25-27 an hour. but they are in far off suburbs and crappy facilities.
