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!!!
East TN...
NEW GRAD RN = $20 ph LTC / $18 ph HOSPITAL
NEW GRAD LPN - $14 ph LTC / $12 ph HOSPITAL
CNAs = $8 - $10 ph
$1 - 1.50 ph for shift diff.
You can generally add 3% to the above figures for each year of experience, up to 10 years. So basically a new hire LPN with 10+ years exp. at a LTC would top out at $17ph base pay.
Benefits are expensive, and not that great
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.

i want to work there!!
Rhode Island
Associate Degree RN- 8 years experience -29.00 per diem
Usually rates are between $26-30 for long term care.
Med tech make about 11.00-12.00 at my place and CNAs start at 9.00 and go up to 13.00
Salaries can vary quite a bit in RI for LTC, we have many nursing homes. I can't quote any Rhode Island hospital salaries.
