Reaching out to any LPN's that work in the Orlando Florida area. Can you give me any feed back about the places you work. Pay, EMAR uses and so on. Thank you very much.

Hello Fire- I am an LPN in the Orlando area. I have lived here since 2002. Since moving here I have worked mainly doctor's offices and did work at an Urgent Care here for almost 2 years. My pay has been anywhere from $12.00 and hour up to $24.50 an hour which is what I make now. I have had over 20 years of experience in many different specialties. If you have any other specific questions message me. Thanks.

Orlando health hires LPNs for all of their hospitals (a recent change). You have to be IV certified to be considered. Their LPN II makes around $30-35k starting. They have a variety of roles for lpns including ER, med surg, psych, mother/baby, etc. FL hospital does not employ LPNs as floor nurses to my knowledge. I know centracare nurses were limited to a $14 flat-rate with no differentials or opportunities to advance. The VA has their pay scales available online, I don't recall them off hand.
Responding to Happy. Nurselet.... I just left a job as an LPN at Centra Care and can tell you I made a lot more than $14 an hour... They pay according to your years of experience and I have over 20 years in so I started out at 19.00 an our and was making a little more when I left the company.
Well that's news! I was given different information. I apologize for inaccurate info.
