LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

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?

I'm a LPN in Oklahoma work in LTC and make 18.50 3rd shift, with fair benefits :p

Anyone from South Carolina? I"ll be moving there shortly.

Pay in southern California in a snf is terrible. I started out making 14.00 an hour on the swing and noc shifts. LVNs do everything here except iv meds and messing with picc and central lines. It's terrible....A new admit will throw your med pass way off! I had 30 patients on the swing shift and 59 on the noc shift. I worked at another place for a short time and they started me at 17.00 an hour... I didn't have to admit people, but the care was horrendous there and I did not want any part of it.

I live in south central va, nursing homes pay anywhere from 17-22 an hour. The hospital is at 14-15 an hour, and Dr. office is lower than that, but I guess with the weekends off you can be choosy?

I'm in Arkansas and I make 18.52/hr.

But I've been on this job for 25 years and I'm topped out.

I do have great benefits.

The starting pay is around 14, I think, where I work, and depending on experience the new hires bring with them.

Nursing homes are paying around 14 and 15/hr. About 9 or 10 months ago I was offered some part time work at one of the local nursing homes and was going to get 15.50, just because they needed nurses so bad, and the administrator knew me from another job.

I decided not to take it, I was tired from working two jobs already.

most out here in California start out @ 16.00-19.00. depends wether your in a small h.m.o. or a huge h.m.o. lots of "Depends upon". we are big into multi-tasking. meaning you are not only doing your work but a little of everyone else job nothing to do with what you are licensed to do.
