I was just reading a Thread fo Hourly rates for LPN's and realized that it was from 2000. I could not believe how low they were! So I'm from MA, I currently work in a Nursing Home I have Associate Degree in Nursing. My hourly rate for a shift 3-11 is 24.50/hr, On weekend is 25.25 as new grad. For LPN is 19.00/HR new grad. On Sep 8th I will be working in a Hospital and I will be making 28.50/hr 3-11shift and after 6months it goes up .50cents/hr. I think is pretty good considering that I will be considered as a new grad in Acute medical floor. I graduated in june of 2007, so I don't have any experience at all when it comes to acute.
let me know your hourly rate and your state! Just curious!!!
BC Canada
Rates the same for hospital/LTC
RN--I think starting $28-$36
LPN--$23.75
Care Aid (equiv to CNA I believe) $21.?? (don't know the change)
Shift diff: $0.95/hour evenings and weekends
$1.60/hour nights
I believe the shift diffs are the same for RN, LPN, Care aids, but I could wrong as I've never seen an RN or Care aid pay stub.
this is my ltc facility (county owned) in central new jersey:
rn (new grad) = $28-$30 per hour (3-11 shift)
lpn (new grad) = $23-$24 per hour (3-11 shift)
cna = about $10.50 per hour
also, excellent medical/dental benefits (no copays for anything except $3 for any prescription). no medical benefits deduction just union dues ($26/pay period-biweekly). gets 3x pay for holidays. so on labor day, thanks giving eve/day, christmas eve/day, new year eve/day, etc...i'll make $90/hour.
you guys should also factor the benefits when calculating the pay.

My facility pays 21.50 FT for a new grad LPN and 24 PRN. Not sure how that rates against other facilities in NOVA but our benefits are superior to most and our work environment is definitely superior so even if they pay more I doubt it is a fair trade.
New RNs = 30
CNAs = 11.50
