LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

This topic has been around before, but I was looking for something more up to date. Things have fluctuated in past two years or so. I know people are always looking for salaries and most of the time its for RN's. I'll start ;-)

Around the Cincinnati area here I'm not sure about the starting pay or pay in hospitals for LPN's. But I know LTC facilities are about 16 to start ranging up to about 22. I've seen ad's in the paper saying $24 but I don't know what that was for. Agencys are about 21-25 dollars for LPN's also. I believe Jobs are plentiful around here! Also when I was up in columbus, I heard an instructor saying they are starting their LPN's out with $27-30 while the RN's get about $40-50 ..I don't really believe that, but I just tossed that out there maybe for some clarification?

Congrats on passing the Nclex!!! It may have taken 3 times but the important thing is that you passed and living your dream. $20/hr is a great starting pay. Good luck to you and your new job.

Why did it take you 3 time to take the test you should have passed it the first time...

taxminia0311: Here is a quote from the Occupational Outlook of what type of personality is required to be an LPN. "LPNs should have a caring, sympathetic nature. They should be emotionally stable, because work with the sick and injured can be stressful. They also should have keen observational, decisionmaking, and communication skills." According to some of your replies on the posts, you fall a little short in the sympathetic and caring area. I'm afraid that if you do not use a little more tact and maturity when responding to patients and your peers, your career could be short lived. Just a subjective observation.

I think you could have skipped this reply to the poster above you that stated that on the third try, she passed the Nclex. I applaud her for having the strength and determination to succeed - no matter how many tries.

Tact and kindness go a long way. We've all been in similar situations where it takes a lot of chutzpah to give something another try.

In short, it means that it was not a very nice comment. LPN's are suppose to be caring and compassionate people. Comments like that could cost you your career in the future.

I have been offered $15.00/hr at last job. Most in my area are paid on experience, I have been an LPN since 1998 with mostly Geriatric Exp.

I was just looking at the VA's website last night. They have openings for LVN's, and the pay is stated as 45,000 to 53,000/year. But that's full time. Not very much for out here....But it is where I hope to work when I graduate.
