LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

[Couture_Honey]

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?

Interested in knowing what the pay scale is in any and all areas of LVN employment in the DALLAS, TX area, esp. North Dallas. (New graduate). This will help me to know what sort of jobs/positions to apply for, or not to apply for! I appreciate your input.

I started at $10.00 in 1981. I now make $22.00/hr. I do agency home health also at $24.00/hr. Oklahoma salary is based upon our cost of living also. But I believe all nurses should get paid more. I am considering moving to Canton Tx in the future.

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.

What is the going the way of the dinosaur is how universities continue to

sell their RN/BSN programs ...not by means of their own standing and merit, but by

degrading LVN/LPN titles. Now that is old school.

I just passed my boards a few months ago and got hired for my first LPN job at $17.60/hour plus shift differential @ a LTC facility. I am full time w/ benefits. This is in Dutchess County NY. The hourly rate would have been more if this wasn't my first nursing job. :heartbeat

Hello,

I'm from Northern California. I just graduated in Dec 2007 and got my first job at a Sub Acute Pediatric Facility. I've been working there for about 2 months now. The base pay for new grad LVN's at my facility is $23.75. You get 9% shift differential for working PM shift (my shift) and 12% for working NOC shift.
