LPN info

[rls37]

My friend currently lives in Las Vegas but is looking to possibly move to South Carolina sometime next year. They had a few questions so I thought I'd post them here. Such as:

- The average salary for an LPN in South Carolina. Good/Bad?

- Are LPNs used in South Carolina emergency rooms?

- Do LPNs receive sign-on bonuses in South Carolina hospitals?

Thanks for any comments/information.

PS: I was also wondering about the salary range for RNs in South Carolina?

The only question I can answer is the LPN in ER one: I work at Lexington Medical Center (just at the ER desk - I'm just a student), but I do know that they no longer allow LPN's to work the ER. Not sure why.

I've had 2 recent interactions with the Lexington ER, Mama and my sister. I must say I am VERY pleased! Now I worked 22 years at the BIG facility in Columbia and their ER while very busy,and very needed as it's a level III, but they do lack in the friendliness and professionalism at LMC. I'd go to the BIG place for trauma or brain stuff but LMC WOW!
