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 live in Connecticut and I make $25. New grads are starting at 21 - 22/hr.

i'm working at a hospital in las vegas. my base pay is 22.47 an hour. i'm full time with good benefits.

Hello:

I heard that Las Vegas cost of living is high is that true? :crying2: Do Las Vegas really build a new street and school every week? :uhoh3: Is the crime low? :rolleyes:

What do RN makes if LPN is so high as 22.47? :redlight:

Thanks,

Does anyone work in a state facility? I am curious about what I can expect working at a state psychiatric facility. I probably would work there anyway if offered a position, regardless of pay (within reason) but I would like an idea anyway. :coollook: Any ideas?

I work for the State of Missouri in a LTC veterans psychiatric facility. I currently make $17.10 as an LPN. The pay seems about average when reading others but the state benefits certainly add to it with good health insurance, and retirement plans. I encourage you to go for it. The rewards i get every day from my patients certainly make up for any lack of monetary compensation I might get elsewhere.

Save one life your a hero; save many your a nurse :)
