Good pay for starting LPN

[real1143]

I am trying to see what LTC units in what areas pay the most for new graduates. I just met someone who graduated and said she is starting off with $19/ hour in Waterbury. I know you can make a lot of money with the state. BUt besides that what LTCs have good starting pay rates?

Any one know of any good agencies to go to in Conneticutt? Preferably that staff near the bridgeport area? Or even a regular LTC that pays decent?

Try the Stamford office of Maxim Staffing:

You can also try the Orange office of MSN:

To find the phone numbers of each go to the above websites and click on the "locations" link or "find area office" link.

Good luck.

If you have any sub-acute facilities near you you might want to check them out. I am not licenced yet but started working at a facility on the sub-acute floor. Starting pay is 20.00 for Gpn 21.00 for Lpn and 22.00 for second shift. The sub-acute unit there is just ike a hospital setting. Well pretty close anyway. They have a long term floor and dementia unit. Same pay.

It's true they over work you like a dog...I should know, I use to work for the company as C.N.A and that's why I gave them a two week notice to quit.
