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?
Yes you are correct, LPNs in Tulsa makes between 13-18/hr... I currently work in AZ in a hospital and make 20. I worked agency and made 25/hr. But once I'm done with my RN, I'll be moing to Tulsa and I'll start out making about 22/hr... Here at the hospital I'm working at, new grad RNs make 26, but with my 6 yrs of LPN I was going to start at 28...
They pay oklahoma LPNs just like CNA in Maryland. I can't believe that. Will never think of working there
I'm a new grad from Chicago and I work in a LTC/psych facility (Day 1!) my starting pay is 25/hr w/some benefits but no diff ( I got reeeeeaaalllllly lucky tho). Ive been looking in my area and suburbs and the going pay seems to be 20-23 for new grads and 22-27 for experienced. I dunno what the agencies r going 4.... * disclaimer.. I'm not a salary tracker just a nurse so i could be wrong :)
I'm a brand new LPN, still on orientation to a LTC/ALF/Rehabilitation facility in Florida. They started me at $19/hr and said my pay will go up after orientation. I work on the rehabilitation/ventilator unit.
Hello, I am from the Tampa area and just graduated nursing school, so i am a newly licensed nurse. That opportunity sounds wonderful. Where in florida is that facility?
