I make 13.65 in an acute rehab facility (plus eve shift and w/e eve shift diffs/and IV cert). I am paid the highest in our city of even the hospitals and the VA. My city is a big college town with 85000 people. If I go east or west to the next big city might go up to 18. I know I'd make more if I were in LTC, but that just isn't for me. So, willing to take less to be happy where I am working

In the 70's when I started, I made $10 /hr which felt like a fortune. (Virginia hospital) Years later was making $35....moved to S.C. and started back in the $20's---South Carolina is famously low in all fields, not just nursing. Now back to $30's.........remember tho you have shift diffs, weekend diffs, specialty diffs (ICU,etc) and some hospitals pay a little extra per hour if you have ACLS,PALS,etc

My very first LVN job was doing flu clinics so I made $30/hr (however this is only for 2 months). But when I had to get a real job I made $17/hr.

Hey everyone. Canadian girl here. Graduated as LPN 2002 in Calgary Alberta. Starting wage in LTC was $16.50. Worked at same facility for 3.5 yrs and left there at $19.55/hr. Just moved back the Vancouver BC and just today as a matter of fact, started a casual position in LTC with starting wage at $22.00/hr (which would have been $19.00 without experience) Big difference in starting wages between provinces but then there's a big difference in taxes!
