I currently work at a LTC that is staffed by primarily LPN's. I graduated last year and began working here at the beginning of this year. My base pay is about $5 less an hour than what I think it should be based off what local hospitals and other LTC facilities pay. Also, I get a $2/hr bonus so my actual base pay is even lower.
I currently work on the med cart and do not want to supervise until I get more experience. I've recently noticed that they use LPN supervisors and when I asked, they said "because you're the RN in the building." I don't know EXACTLY what this means but it comes off fishy to me.
I was contemplating asking my DON for a raise based off of that fact. Is it justified?
