Hi! I was hoping to get some salaries for LPN new grads. What is your starting pay and what hospital do you work for? I have been surveying the hospital systems in my area and I have always been seeing several openings (carolinas medical center, novant, caromont health). Im just just wondering what you are getting.

Very few east coast hospitals hire LPNs....

Few that do place them in physician offices that are part of their network or similar work. Do not think a NYC hospital has used LPNs on acute care floors in decades.

last fall when i was in my last term in school our clinical instructor told us mount sinai was hiring lpns and that those of us who lived in the boroughs should apply. that being said, i do believe you do have to put your best foot forward when applying. good luck!
