LPN Pay?

[LostinTheSauce]

Dear LPNs, I'm just wondering how much you are making. Also if you're from the east coast please mention it as I am from the area.  I'm highly considering LPN school because it's shorter training than RN school.

Live in San Antonio Texas. Making $37/hour at outpatient clinic. I have a part time moonlighting and make $24/hour plus bonuses there. I total out to around $100k to $105k yearly.

I'll likely go to $38/39 in 2024.

I could also up that $24 to $30 but the case I'm moonlighting on gives a lot of convenience and ability to pick my own schedule and change my schedule to fit my needs.

 

No shortage of opportunity and if you look for the higher paying positions they pay more than the average U.S. salary!

In 2012 I was making 28 an hour at Assisted Living, no benefits. Now I'm starting a new agency job at $45 in SNF, no benefits. I see the same facility starts at 28$ an hour if you want to join the union plus benefits. I can't believe the salary has hardly moved for LPNs. NYC

That is all well and good to Derob and shadowguy where you live and hopefully still young.  I often wish it was 20 yrs ago and I could travel still I would make a killing.  Right now in Georgetown Texas I make 24$ on a home case.  I do a remote from home at 25$ P/T.  Nurse for 46yrs and I have not retired but I do not travel as I did agency since the 90's.  Derob did well as the Rates have gone up since covid for Nurses in Dr office.  You can not negotiate very much on HOME cases and even tho mine is much better here than it would be in Houston it is still not much.  I do have an easy case for those 12 hrs as I did have to give up FT on her.  Right now am on LOA for both jobs having a TKR. 9/5.  I get a good SSC.  But I am not sure when I will call it quits.  I enjoy my P/T at home.  Cudos to those who can get the higher pay.  I basically was making around 30$ back in the 2013 up to the 2019 and I quit agency.   Have a blessed day all you NURSES!.
