LPN/LVN Moving out-of-state?? salary check anyone

Published

Hello people.. I would like to start of by thanking this website.. i know this topic had been started but it seems that the last response i read was from 2006...

Currently here in NY .. I worked in a Methadone clinic and city hospital.. the current rate for us LVN/LPN is $20-23 per hour (38k+ annually) ..

I am currently planning to move to San Francisco .. any LPN's/LVN's out there know the salary range for us in CA or SF?

Salary.com stated that its somewhere around 42k annually..

Some agencies in craigslist is stating $23-$25 per hour..

just really want to have a ballpark idea from a real person and not just statistics

before i move there..

I appreciate you guys for taking the time and effort to read this post.

Hoping for some positive responses ..

Cheers!

There is a place that advertises on Craigslist occasionally. I believe its a rehab clinic of some sort. They advertise pay being between $25-27 depending on shift. I think they are called Baker's Place (in SF). A classmate that works at a rehab/nursing home says the LVNs start out at $26 (Oakland area).

Don't forget to check out the cost of living! My ex moved out of state and makes a lot more money....but he's paying a lot more for rent, etc, too.....so he's actually not doing well, plus PA would make him pay a lot more child support based on his salary if I were a meanie.

I have 18 years experience as an LPN in PA (long term care) and make $20/hour.

Good luck!!
