Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

This topic has been around before, but I was looking for something more up to date. Things have fluctuated in past two years or so. I know people are always looking for salaries and most of the time its for RN's. I'll start ;-)

Around the Cincinnati area here I'm not sure about the starting pay or pay in hospitals for LPN's. But I know LTC facilities are about 16 to start ranging up to about 22. I've seen ad's in the paper saying $24 but I don't know what that was for. Agencys are about 21-25 dollars for LPN's also. I believe Jobs are plentiful around here! Also when I was up in columbus, I heard an instructor saying they are starting their LPN's out with $27-30 while the RN's get about $40-50 ..I don't really believe that, but I just tossed that out there maybe for some clarification?

I live in Kansas City and I make $18.50/hr plus differentials after that and I am full time with benefits. Our PRN LPNs make $22-25, but I applied for some agency jobs this week and I was only offered $18 at one place and $20 at another and I am also IV cert. I was only making $14/hr at my last job with no differentials, you can see why I left. So, I would say that in this area it would be $14-$22/hr. Hope this helps you!

I was at a LTF the other day visiting a friend. I knew several of the nurses there including the ADON. She asked me if I wanted to work perdiem. They pay 23.50 perdium. That is Putnam County, New York. I work in Westchester County and make more. The reimbursment rate for Medicare is very different between the 2 counties.Don't know about what the RNs make.

Orlando area LPN in LTC any where from $16-$19/hr home health(hospice, peds, & geri)$15-$18 hospitals I am not sure but I think around $14 (I hear it is low) and most of the hospitals in the area do not hire LPN's--unless it is for their clinics. Clinics pay between $12-$14. Agency I hear up to $21.

I live in central Ohio , I've been at the same long term care facility since 1985. I am finally just over $18.00 / hour. I think they start the new hires at $16.00 ,, but it also depends on experience. The local agency starts LPN's out at $19.00 per hour during the week and $21.00 on the weekend.

Does anyone work in a state facility? I am curious about what I can expect working at a state psychiatric facility. I probably would work there anyway if offered a position, regardless of pay (within reason) but I would like an idea anyway. :coollook: Any ideas?

I just graduated in January, passed the boards in March and start my new job tomorrow at a LTCF. I am starting out at 19.26/hour and that is with a $3 diff for 3rd shift. This is a normal rate of pay for this area. :)

Wow! What do CNAs make there? What is your cost of living? Our CNAs make more than that here but then, of course, we are taxed on EVERYTHING! :uhoh3:
