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?

OUCH! I am a CNA and I make 16$ in VA. Doing assisted living... Remind me to stay away from the midwest.

Where in VA do you live making $16 an hour as a cna?

Specializes in Med-Surg, Home Health, LTC.

In California

north state $18-32

an avg $22-24, time and half last fours on 12 hr shifts.

Southern Ca same except San Diego has one of the lowest

paying areas with range $15-18 hr. I was told due to the revolving door

of military spouses that are nurses. same situation for the RN's.

Freeways are insane as is 50% of drivers.

But....the weather is amazing, Mediterranean, sky so blue looks free of smog.....illusion.

but I am real sorry some areas pay so little, like OK. that is sad

WOW! That is dirt cheap, :down: hopefully the cost of living is in proportion to the pay.

I am a brand new LPN working in MI in a LTC facility. I make $19.00, pay varies from probably $16-23, depending on the facility.

I live in Pennsylvania, my first job out of school is at a LTC facility and I started out making 12.10 an hour then after 3 months I went up to 12.34 and hour. I am working 3-11:cry: with no shift differential. I have been there almost 5 months. We have 20 residents each. We work our butts off!!! I am really sick now that I see that almost everyone is making alot more than we are around here. But happy for you guys! The hospital starts out at 13.00. Home Health starts between 15-18 depends on the case but no insurance. Have a good day! Hugs, Chrissy

I was at a LTF the other day visiting a friend. I knew several of the nurses there including the ADON. She asked me if I wanted to work per diem. They pay 23.50 per diem. That is Putnam County, New York. I work in Westchester County and make more. The reimbursement rate for Medicare is very different between the 2 counties.Don't know about what the RNs make.

I know this post is a little older... but can you tell me where you are working in Westchester or Putnam. I am graduating this June and will be taking the NCLEX-PN. I will need to work right after that and would appreciate any information you can give me.

Thank you

JoAnn
