1. LPN starting pay?

   xxAngelxx replied to dana0509's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think the pay varies greatly, depending on where you live and where you work. I work in a town with one hospital and 3 nursing homes. I started at $23.10/hr in a nursing home. IF the hospital was hiring LPNs, they make a little over $15/hr.

2. why does teachers and some Rn's think LPN is not a nurse!

   xxAngelxx replied to angelluv's topic in LPN/LVN

   The RNs I work with are amazing and don't differ between RN and LPN - we're all nurses! However, the only people I've had issue with are some PATIENTS. Some will say, "So when are you going to be a nurse?" I tell them that I already am a nurse, to wh...

   I am just finishing up my second week at my very first job as an LPN. I've noticed that many of the nurses I work with do not make any time for wound/skin care. I know we are all busy. But a small wound, untreated, will just get bigger and worse. Tw...

   xxAngelxx replied to 53Kalypso's topic in LPN/LVN

   I've only been working as an LPN in a LTC facility for one week so far. I received my license Sept 30. I really do love my job (so far!) and probably will continue with LTC. However.... LPNs where I work get paid $23/hr and RNs get paid $32/hr. Huge ...

8. New LPN

   xxAngelxx replied to xxAngelxx's topic in NCLEX

   I hate to admit it, but I didn't really study much specifically for the boards. I'm still in nursing school (RN program) so I kept studying for that. I did, however, do every question off NCLEX-PN Made Incredibly Easy.
