How much does the average LPN make in New Jersey or New York?

espikey · Jan 11, 2007

Hey everyone!! I'll be graduating from LPN school next month (Feb. 22, 2007) Yay!! But I've decided to move to New Jersey this summer and the cost of living is a tad higher (which I expected) there than here in Ohio..so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much the LPN's (in an acute care setting) make over in NJ or NY!! I would really appreciate it!

I was once told by an 1199 rep that in New York the LPN pay at a union hospital is anywhere from 18 to 24 dollars per hour. As per diem, I have heard of hourly rates from 23 to 32 dollars, depending on the facility and experience.

Hi booboo, I'm a new LPN in NY, just wanted to know the agencies that pay top dollars for LPN's. I'm planning on working in a hospital thats 1199 affiliated. They pay $24 an hour, I wanted to do some agency work on the side.

How much does the Brooklyn nursing home your friend works pays?

HI..she makes about the same $24, but she works a 4-12am shift..and the agency pays her 3-4 dollars more i think they send her to queens in woodhaven ( don't quote me on that one)...But definetely KEEP the job you have, don't worry about it you'll meet people who refer you to agencies also..but if you want i can ask her for you to be sure..

later..

I guess, it all depends on the area.

wow reading this I feel really under paid. when I worked in 2008 the union starting wage for new grads was $13.49 but that was Northern NY. Now in AZ I'm only making $20 an hour and thats with the night and weekend differential.
