LPN Pay in NH

[NHSTUDENT, LPN]

Hello,

I am in the process of making a career change and was wondering in someone could help me out with a question. I am looking into LPN and RN Programs in NH, there is plenty of info out there in reagrds to RN salaries but not much with regards to LPNs. Does anyone know what the average starting pay for a new LPN in NH, most likely working in a nursing home. Any feedback would greatly help.

Thanks!

I am about to graduate in Dec as a LPN and from what I have found it is about 33,000-40,000 depending on where you work....doc offices tend to be the lowest.

I know a friend that works at a nursing home in concord and is making close to 45,000 working nights and another is working for the government and after 1 year is up 10 38,000

Hope this helps

GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for sharing that information. That is not bad for only a year of training.

Congrats on graduating!!! You must be nervous and excited!

Any pointers for us new LPN students? I'm nervous about the pharmacology math.

STUDY STUDY STUDY....AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE STUDY SOME MORE :)

I have been a LNA for 7 years before starting LPN school and I thought that would give me a good base, and it did to some degree but there is so much more to everything.

Know your parameters for things like what are normal values of vitals, lab values and know your meds.....I recommend reading the drug book in the front where it tells about how the meds work and what are included in each section

MOST OF ALL BREATH AND TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOU EVERYDAY TO JUST RECOOP FROM ALL OF IT

Again Good Luck!!
