I'm taking my NCLEX in June and wanted to know roughly the pay for a new LPN? I mean a lot of people asking the question, but it seems like people are beating around the bush....Do Anyone know the pay:banghead:?

i'm in rome also. starting rates for lpns is $12.50 at floyd medical center
starting rates for rns at fmc is $21.00. the lpns there are expected to do everything the rn does, except for admission assessments, which the bon states must be done by a rn...even then lpns are expected to do them and the care plans and have a rn sign off on them. saves big bucks for the hospital and if the lpn is willing to work for that...who can blame the hospital for getting by with it?? my advice to lpns is go back and get your rn license asap...and get paid for the services you are performing.
note*** if anyone is going into nursing at any level just for the money it pays....please go somewhere else!!! patients deserve to be treated with compassion by those nurses who truly care about patients!!

RNs start at $19.xx at floyd... many of my fellow graduates went to work there and thats what they started at. thats with no experience of course.
