    i'm an lpn in las vegas. been an lpn since 1985 and have worked at the same hospital here in vegas almost 12 years. right now i make 18.90/hr with full benefits. we get a yearly evaluation which has always gotten me 3.8%(but i'm hearing from my coworkers that since we got our NEW boss that all lpns have gotten 3% and all rns 3.6%). mine is due in dec. so i will see then. we also usually get a raise every 6 months per our union contract. last time it was 3.5% twice the first year and 3.25% twice the second year. our contract was up in july and negotiations are underway. also i get a yearly bonus that gets larger each year you are there. we have good benes. free insurance for me, and i pay 50something per check for hubby. also tuition reimbursement, anything over 40 hrs a week time and a half, time and a half for holidays, etc. very small shift diff. and no weekend diff. i accumulate 22+hours of cal time a month(to use for vacation or whatever) plus around 7 hours of eib(extended illness bank) time per month. we also have a deferred compensation plan so you can save money before taxes.

    I find the range of pay ridiculous. I am working as a hospital pharmacy tech while attending nursing school and my base pay is $14.87. I make .80 shift diff and an extra $.50/hr weekend rate.

    What I do is important but can't compare with the responsibility the nurses have. I hope the national attention that is being given to the nursing shortage helps remedy the situation, although here in MN the media hasn't given the nursing strike as much attention as it deserves.

    I have been a LVN for 10 years I currently work 50% as a school nurse for $1047/month with full benefits. I supplement this with agency relief at psych facilities and LTC. I make $23-25/hr with the agency depending on whether it is a weekend. I usually work 8 extra shifts a month with the agency.
