if i remember right, nights were almost $33 and change/hr and days were maybe $29-ish, don't remember 3-11, probably 31. if you take a position with benefits, knock about two dollars off the hourly rate.

I did a search within allnurse's private duty forums to find out more about Family Lives, but I didn't find anything. Is this a reputable agency?

I see them advertise quite a bit but have never applied, I'm a new LPN and I just don't feel ready to do home care yet. Good luck!!!

Is that RN pay?

yes, that's RN pay. i interviewed there as a new nurse and was offered a job. they seemed like decent enough people. so, they provided me with the different RN rates, but don't know about LPN rates. they do also offer loan repayment assistance, good health insurance, tuition assistance, sign-on bonus, various bonuses, and several other benes for full-time (20+hrs). they would be interested in you if you have any experience, even in clinicals, with g-tubes or vents, seizure disorders, persons with disabilities, etc...and if you have a strong interest in pediatrics. one caveat, as a new nurse you have to stay one year or pay them $5,000 to make up for training, etc. that they put into you. i've been told it's never been enforced, though. experienced nurses are not subject to the one year rule.
