LPN grads STARTING PAY $/HR

Published

i am just curious regards to the starting rate of pay for newly LPN grads upon hire in all and many different states here in the US. I am currently in mcallen, tx. but i plan to move around to different states to see where i like to work best so I would like to know the different rates of pay for different states.

Specializes in floor to ICU.
12.50 as a LVN wage. That;s a shame. Doesn't McDonalds pay about that these days?

Outer Houston area new grad pay is $13.27 (acute care hospital) yes it is sad.

Northwest Georgia starting pay for a new LPN w/ no experience is....

$12.25/hr Base Rate: Hospital

$14-17/hr Base Rate: Nursing Home

$10-12/hr Base Rate: Doctor's Office

The shift differentials are what really help you out around here. Some new LPN's make $21.00/hr if they are willing to work ONLY weekend nights, like a 60/80 shift.

Actually, McDonald's pays minimum wage. :)

I refuse to work for $12.50 hourly, which is why I will stay away from the acute care hospitals around here.

Actually, the Los Angeles area pays crappy LVN hospital wages, too. I completed a Los Angeles LVN program in late 2005, and the hospitals were offering low wages when you consider the cost of living. Kaiser Hospital was offering $17 hourly, Olive View Medical Center was offering a monthly salary of $2550 monthly, and Northeast Valley Health Center offered $15 hourly.

I guess it all depends on where you live and the cost of living for your area. I live in Savannah, GA (not a very big city at all) and $12.50 sounds pretty good to me but I don't even know if they pay that much here. I guess the good thing is that if they pay more I'll be happy but if not I won't be disappointed. :wink2:
