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 thought LPNS paid well butafter graduating i was let down............18.87.Anyone knows how much a lpn makes in Texas..Ny..NJ?

I just landed a job in Illinois near champaign. As a new grad I was started off at 17.85. plus 1.00 for 2nd shift and .75 for nights. 2.00 extra per hour for weekends and 3.00 per extra for picking up an open shift or coming in for a call off.

Yes that's for LPN. At the time I was making 33/hr, we were the highest paid in our city (San Jose) for a sub acute facility that works with vent & trach's and at that time I was a new grad so that was the starting rate. Unfortunately the company went bankrupt and went under new ownership and pay was cut. I feel so lucky though when I see what other people are posting because I know how hard we work and what little pay some people get.

I will be acquiring my LPN licensure in 1 yr and I am Looking forward to moving to the state of Florida. Could recent LPN grads reach out to me and offer me there approx hourly salary rates, general location and facility type in Florida to which you are employed. I will be enjoying working nights/weekends and holidays (I really will). I hope to take advantage of the LPN-RN-=BSN programs as quickly as possible as well. I am concerned more with rates of pay and benefits than to the type of facility until I get my feet wet and can define my finite career path specialty.

Thanks in advance to all whom care to respond

and continued success in all your endeavors
