Average pay for Southern California Lvn?

Published

I've been a LVN for 5 years and gainfully employed for 3 1/2 of those years. My current employer hasn't given raises in 3 years. I love my patients and grateful for the experience/opportunity. I'm not by any means complaining but rather in need of a better paying job. I start school this fall to complete prerequisites for the RN program. I have Vent/Trach, G-Tube, Colostomy care experience and IV Certification. I'm looking in the Inland Empire and surrounding areas. Any suggestions my fellow nurses? Any information you have will be greatly appreciated. ☺

Specializes in CNA, LVN, RN.

LTC in Pasadena, CA $23. I have 1 year exp. I believe that was the starting pay for LVNs there.

I'm in the inland empire and I make 16.50 doing private duty nursing. I know it's on the low side, but its allowed me to work and still recover from a previous car accident. It's also good because im trying to go back to school for my RN this fall, and if I get in I will be able to work and study in my downtime.
