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?

20-23 an hour for Long term facilities in my area. Southern California. Hospitals pay around 18-21 an hour.

New LVNs earn between $18-$20 to start in houston. Through temp agencies and home health you can make anywhere $24/hr to $35/hr depending on the agency and the complexity of the cases you will be handling

I lived in Richmond Va. the nursing homes pay more than the hospitals here I make 17.50 base on experience as a new nurse at a nursing home. Less than 6 months to a year. A lot of the hospital don't usually hire new LPN. A lot of the places here pay you more base on your experience. Agency starts at 21-27 depending on where you go.

When you work for an agency, can you still get benefits? I see the pay is much higher with an agency. Are there drawbacks to working for an agency?

Specializes in community health, LTC, SNF, Tele-Health.

I'm 8 miles north of Boston and I make 24/hr on the day shift. My co offers a shift diff of 3$/hr after 3 and on weekends. If you go closer to the city you might make 26/27 an hour. I've made 26$/hr in the past but the money wasn't worth the hell hole I was in. Looks like I'm never moving to Oklahoma. 11 bucks an hour?!?!? Thats insane!

Specializes in Wound Care (1 yr) Long Term Care (2 yrs).

Hi, I live in South Jersey and the rate pay without experience is $19-21.00 an hour average for LTC and hospitals will most likely not hire LPN's. You also have shift and weekend differential in most facilities. Good luck, since jobs during this time, with the nation's economy as it is are hard to find.
