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?

Specializes in military acute care.

Here in N.E. Iowa at a facility (LTC) including vents the pay starts at 18.00 pls a hire-on bons of 5K for LPN's. I would like to know the payscale etc in the Crestview FL. area. Thinking of moving back south.... Thank you Florida LPN's for your info.

This message is for Kimmy the SVN. I am a new grad LVN in Southern California (Riverside County to be exact). I make 17.50 w/ benefits, every other weekend off. No shift differential. ONly one person out of my class makes more than me that I know of at 18.50/hr. I think whoever told you you'd be making that much lied. Maybe LA county pays close to that?

Keep your head up, we live near you and wife works out there. CNA for 5yrs and a LVN for 1.5yrs and she makes $25hr w/out overtime! No lies.

Specializes in tele, oncology.

From the STL area....I've been at the same hospital for five years, came in with three years of experience. Currently I'm right at $16/hr without diffs. Which is one of the reasons I'm on nights. Can't wait till I get my RN...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better pay for the same patient assignments. (New RN grads get hired on at $19+ and their diffs are at least $2/hr more.)
