Looks like there is a large span of pay rates. I live in western Va, work in a LTC facility and make $16/hr charging. Not the best but thankful to have a job in this area as I also care for my ailing father.
I work at an acute care hospital on the Surgical unit and in ltc--RPN wages are $27.85 plus 14% in lieu of benefits plus in ltc care an extra 4% vacation pay paid twice yearly. I am a new grad--the wage increases over time by a few dollars an hour.
LPN in provincial run hospital, unionized employee, with benefits, I make $33.99 an hour plus $3.00 and hour shift diff after 3pm, and I think another $2.00 an hour shift diff on weekends.
