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?

the lpn rate at the sub acute unit i work in is 23.50 hr with full benefits and overtime if you want it. i also do agency work and the rate is 30. hr this is central new jersey.

seems like the rates from other parts of the country are really low. lpns in my unit are all iv cert. and yes we start alot of them and we are also vent certified. for those drugs that get iv pushed in hospitals our pharmacy pre mixes small 50ml bags with lasix, dilaudid, zofran etc. for us to use so we can avoid the iv push problem. we are also acls trained. i really feel we are just rns under an lpn title getting less money of course. new jersey leaves it up to the institution as far as our job duties include. no set rules on what lpns can do in a sub acute setting. any other situations like this out there. i would be interesting in hearing other stories from lpns that do primary sub acute care.

Northeastern Illinois -

$23.00/hr in LTC.

We need to remember that some of the wages sound low, but the cost of living can be vastly different from one state to another. Even within states. I know when I left Nebr. eons ago I was making about $6.50/hr. I moved to Ct. and worked in 2 places one for 14.00/hr and one for 12.00/hr. Then I moved to Illinois and started at 11.00/hr. :nurse:

I'm an LVN working in a hospital in DOU in Santa Clarita, CA (Los Angeles County). I make $19.75 hour working 1900-0730 (with evening and night differentials). My Base pay is $15.50/hour. I've only been working at this hospital for 3 months though. My base pay is low because the Director of Critical Care went off of my Acute Care experience time only (which is about 2 years), even though I've been a nurse for 3 years.
