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 work in southern NH LTC - 12 hour day shifts on the weekend as well as 8 hours one weekday averaging $22.28 per hour which includes a free 8 hours pay and full benefits. I think the starting base pay at the facility I work is somewhere around $16.00 per hour. Raises have averaged around 4% but I hear there will be none this year.
hey im a nursing student in northern ky. I was wanting to find out what the pay rate for a new grad lpn is? so if anybody knows about northern ky id apprecitate it.

I just graduated in January, passed the boards in March and start my new job tomorrow at a LTCF. I am starting out at 19.26/hour and that is with a $3 diff for 3rd shift. This is a normal rate of pay for this area.
