Holy smokes! I didn't think you could get 32 for 40 anymore. And 20 bucks an hour as an LVN. And you want to give this up????

Unless you profoundly dislike your employer or want to move to Amarillo so bad that you're willing to take a serious pay cut, I wouldn't leave if I were you.

It took me being an RN w/ 6 yrs experience before I broke the 20 dollar barrier.

(and that was 1999 not some time long past)

I can't imagine anyplace but the worse places offering you that - it is very good pay, especially when you factor in 32 for 40, shoot you probably make what I make!
