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?

Hello, I am a new LPN in Baltimore, Maryland, and I have been fortunate enough to have found two well paying jobs. I work PRN at the prison and earn 20.50 per hour with shift differential. I also work fulltime at a substance abuse treatment center and earn 22.75 per hour. So I believe that Baltimore is a very fair paying city, you just have to be flexible in what area you want to work in.:twocents:

Any state facility tend to pay more regardless what the position is. There are many opportunities for LVNs/LPTs in state psychiatric facilities. I dont personally work for the state of CA (yet) but my boyfriend does. He is an LPT and gets paid $28.90/hr plus overtime at a state youth correctional facility.

Hello,

I work in the SF bay area(CA). I work in the ED at Kaiser Fremont and per diem at a Sutter Trauma hospital in Castro Valley. LVN's make 30-35 an hour in the acute care hospitals, less at ltc's. The sad news is this, LVN's in acute care are going the way of the dinosaur. Either by lay-off or attrition they are being reduced. RN's in the bay area are making 50-70 an hour,-perhaps the highest rate in the country. The good news is I will be an RN soon.

I graduated in 2005 and started at 16.50 + 1.00 shift diff in LTC, I am still at the same facility and am up to 21.85 plus the dollar diff. I have interviewd a few places recently and no one seems to be paying over 18.00 right now. I also interviewed in a pediatricians office last summer, they offered 12.36! I had to say NO to that! the place I currently am at seems to be about the highest paying in my area right now so it looks as if I will be staying a little longer as I am not willing to take that much of a pay cut right now.:bowingpur
