Finally landed a job in Hampton Roads

Specializes in Psych; Substance Abuse.

After applying for over two years I have finally been hired at a jail in Suffolk, VA. They quoted me 30,000 to start. I know they pay is generally low in the area but is this salary in line for a LPN with 2 years experience? Soo excited to start!

Not sure about the pay, but congrats on landing a job. I know how hard that can be! It took me forever after graduation (from a different state). The pay is low here, but a job is a job and you will get good experience that can eventually turn into higher pay!

Thanks to everyone for the replies! I guess the pay is about right bc all the nurses they hired with me are around the same pay.
