I think they pay more...The cost of living is factored in also..I know CNAs in northern california get paid like 20 an hour

Northern California has starkly different pay rates for nursing staff.

In the Antelope Valley, based on 2005 figures provided by the job placement advisor at my LVN school, new LVNs can expect to start at $14 to $16 hourly. CNAs can expect to start at $8 hourly. Please keep in mind that Antelope Valley rents and housing prices are cheaper than the rest of the state. One can still rent a 2-bedroom condo for $750 monthly.

In the San Fernando Valley, LVN wages are slightly higher, with the average starting wage for a new grad at $19 per hour.

I live in Plamdale and at the two and only major hospital we have here.A.V Hospital& High Dessert the pay is $15 an hour. The cost of living is not that cheap out here anymore like it use to be. My house value has trippled if not more in the last three years. It's till considered less than what they pay in the valley for housing,but the pay is not that great.A lot of people I know commute to Valencia or the valley for the higher pay.Good luck if you have any questions about the palmdale/Lancaster area pm me anytime.Just know the hospitals here are very overcrowded & it's hot.

I'm an RN at AVH and the pay is between 15 and 18$ an hour. But SEIU has finally won the right to negotiate for the Non RN staff. So those numbers could easily go up. The RN's are with CNA, and we just ratified our second great contract:smiley_ab

so if RN's only make $15 and hour I am assumming that's the day shift.They how much does AVH pay for the LVN'S? I think that is just not enough money for the amount of work& skills that is required.Espically at AVH because I could just imagine the stress there being that is the only hospital out here.well we do have High Dessert,but you know what I mean.
