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?

Specializes in pediatric vent,adult quad vent,ltc.

THAT IS:banghead: SO, WRONG I HOPE THEY HAVE A NURSING SHORTAGE SOON.YOU DID'T GO TO SCHOOL TO MAKE BARELY MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE HOPE RN'S ARE PAID AS POORLY:no:

Specializes in psych. rehab nursing, float pool.

check out careerbuilder.com, just to name one web site. There are others out there.

you can plug in about any good sized city in this nation and see who has jobs, in what filed, requirements and what place it is. Now it will not most likely tell you rate of pay.

You could then put in a call to the human resource center of any place you are interested in. They can give you what the range of pay scale is meaning from New grad anything to top scale.

There are not many agencies in my city. I know one is called Global or Global Diagnostics. They will pay about $20/hr for LPN I think and require working experience.

Specializes in Detox.

Hi I live in Worcester, Mass my base pay as an LPN is 21.63 plus dif, so I make 22.88 on weekdays and 23.88 on weekends.. Not bad for an LPN with only 2 yrs exp. It is a private detox hospital so they pay alittle better than the local hospital. Downfall the benefits are not that good...
