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?

I live in eastern tennessee, working in LTC, new grad about 7 months, my first job i was making 13.25/hr 15min drive PRN, my second LTC job full time, decent single person benefits, making 14.00/hr, then I got a dollar raise plus .50cents shift differential for 2nd shift 15.50/hr about 30min drive, now I just started a new job about 45/min drive, wanted to start me out at 12.00 but got them up to 15.00, including .50 shift diff, but this LTC is in a very rural area and I really enjoy getting to know the residents and their lifestyles and life stories, I think doctors offices around here pay around 12-13, one nearby hospital starts around 14.00 but all the other hospitals are around 12-13 all of this is for

I'm in central Louisiana, near Lafayette area, i've been an LPN 4 yrs. I work for a nursing home at nites. I have 58 patients and make 18.50 an hr.

The most i've made as an LPN was 36 hr working on my day off at our local hosp. they discourage agency so they will pay their lpns, time and a half plus 8 dollars if they come on in on their off days, the same hosp, wanted to start me off at 10.00 an hr as a new nurse but I turned down benefits and was offered 14.50 an hour.

I have also made 25.00 and hour working for agencies in the past.
