Lpn working in ltc in Oklahoma. 7p to 7a making 19 an hour. That's with shift differential. Congratulation on almost being done! Is a tough program.

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

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).

I'm hoping I get at least $16 giving I work 3rd shift. Right now I'm a CNA but I know my hospital pays $4 shift diff for RN working 3rd shift so hopefully it's something similar for LPN

I live in rural MO. Not an LPN but I was a ADON at a skilled nursing facility a few years ago. Starting salary with no experience about 15 an hour. But at the hospital medical clinic, Dr office LPN only started at 9 and hour! Crazy!

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.
