I'm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. I started at $18.50 hourly in long term care when I secured my first LVN position in 2006.
Nearly 10 years later, the LVN wages in this area are still in the same general range due to the nursing glut (read: there are too many nurses in this metro area and not enough jobs for everyone who would like to work).

Same pay scale in the Austin area. There seems to be plenty of LVN jobs posted, and lots of facilities who are not posting. My last facility is down 4 nurses and they hire new grads. Those jobs are not posted, for some reason.
