Sicne most salary post are outdated on here, lets get a current thread going for those that are searching
Knoxville area, new grad LTC $15 3-11
I am an LVN originally from Calif., and very recently relocated to Tyer,TX.While in CA. I was making 25.00/hr Inc. Shift diff.Let me also mention that I have 30+yrs.experiance in almost all areas of nsg. When I relocated to Texas I found the salaries and benefits to be exceptionally poor. Now I have found the avg. pay to be a regular on staff benefitted LVN to be @approx.$18.50/hr excluding a15% noc shift diff. The healthcare benefits are very poor,and we do not get holiday pay!!This is what the ETMC company pays.I am going to definatly find another job.So for those of you job seekers,if ETMC offers you a job,run the other way.
Like the other threads about salary I think we need to have:
Area you live - Myrtle Beach, SC
specialty - community health
years of expearience - fresh out of school
level (rn, lvn, etc) - LPN
rate of pay - $14 p/hr
HOURS - 8:30-5:30 m-f all holidays off
I could get much higher pay from other places in this area, but not with the benefits and job satisfaction that I have now. I love my job and thats more important to me. I'd quit a job that paid me $30 an hour that made me miserable or depressed and doubt I'd ever leave the job I'm at now, because I feel so warm and fuzzy when I leave at night.

Base Rate: $17.50
W/ Shift Diff W/E 7-3: $18.50
W. Shift Diff W/E 3-11: 19.50
I work weekends only 7a-7p and have a strange shift differential b/c the facility is set up for 8 hours shifts. It's also a Baylor position, so I work 24 hours but get paid for 32. When you factor in my shift diff plus baylor it comes out to $25/hr.
This was my post in December. As of yesterday I have new salary information as I accepted a new job to get out of the nursing home! Will be a cut in pay, but am looking forward to acute care nursing instead of LTC. This is a great career move for me. I'm very excited!!
