Hospital vs Nursing Home Salary

Published

Hi. Which of the two do you think has the higher salary for an LPN. I know nursing isn't all about salary, but I'd just like general info. Thank you.

Hello,

You're right it is not all about the money, but that is an important part of any job. In my area of Ohio LPNs are paid around $20-$22 an hour in a SNF. LPNs are not used in the local hospitals, but their doctor offices connected to them make between $16-$18 an hour.

Keep in mind the stress levels, hours and skills used when making your choice! 

Hope this helps!
