Starting Wages for LPN's and RN's - Page 2

I'm LVN in Santa Barbara, CA. LVN wages are no lower than $25/hr. I get $32/hr, but I negotiated due to my 13 yrs experience. Really depends where u live.

I live in the bay area of california, and starting pay for a LVN is usually around $35/hr...RN starting pay is usually around $50/hr...its so crazy to hear wages being around 15/hr...that seems so low, but then I remember the cost of living is extremely high were I live.

As a new grad LPN in LTC in the south end of the metro Twin Cities area I started at 16.50 or so last year. Just over 17/hr right now plus shift differentials. The hospital that my LTC facility is affiliated with (across the street) also hires LPNs but I'm not sure what they are paying there.

Hey I'm a new grad and I make 23/hr at my nursing home job and 27/hr working one weekend a month at a home care agency with my BSN.
