;) I wanted to find out from the other members of the board, what is the average LPN Salary in NJ.I was recently offered a CNA job at an assistant live in Rehab center here in NJ, and i was told that i have a position awaiting me as an LPN upon graduatin July 06 (after passing the boards that is) New Grad LPN Salary $23.75, and open for negotiation for current employees who will become LPN'S. I think thats pretty decent, because the yearly income will be around $45, 000 to $55, 000 if i work 40 to 48 hours a week. What do you guys think?

Its a nice facility sub-acute, acute and rehab, so i will get med-surg skills as well.:balloons:

Appears to be in the ballpark. How much do you contribute for insurance, any city wage tax, parking etc...those add up.
