I am not from CA, but I thought I'd put some comparison info for you. I'm from Hawaii. Here's the per hour comparison according to the people I know in the hospital.

Hawaii LPN's entry level about $15 to $18

Hawaii LPN with experience $18 to $24

Hawaii RN's entry level (RPN 2 first 6 months as an RN) 27 to 29 dollars

Hawaii RN's with some experience (RPN 3) $33 to $35

Hawaii RN's (RPN 3 with more experience) $35 to $45

Hawaii RN's Head Nurse or Supervisor position's (RPN 4) about $53 to $55

Hawaii RN pay can even go higher depending on your specialty and experience.

Hope you like the comparison info. lol!

I was going to ask the same ? I live in Massachusetts and know that LPN's do NOT make 15 as an LPN. I made over 18 as a Medical Assistant. I am taking the boards soon, and all facilities I have gone to so far for a job, have offered nothing less than 22.
