Starting pay for no experienced LVN in any states

Hi everyone!

I just want to get some information about the hourly pay for new grad or no experienced LVN. Any info for convalescent pay and hospital pay like kaiser. Thanks everyone!

I did some research for southern california and the avg salary for a LVN in San Bernardino was $58000 and $61247 in the OC and LA county was $58078 The US national avg is $48149. I cant remember if i got this info from monster or career builder. I hope there info is right because that would be a nice income.

These averages are rather high, even for Southern California.

If the average RN salary for Southern California is $70,000 yearly, then the average LVN in that area is definitely not earning in the $60,000 range per year. I am a native Californian who attended an LVN program in the Los Angeles area 2 years ago. Most places in the area were paying anywhere from $15 to $25 hourly, with the average hourly rate hovering at around $19.

Read the link below. It shows the different RN salaries in each state. Even though the webpage is dated for December 2005, the info still accurately depicts today's wages. LPN/LVN salaries in Southern California do not even come close to what RNs in the same area are being paid.
