LPN starting pay $26.50!

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

My brother just finished up his LPN school a few months ago, he got hired here in the metro detroit area in MI for $26.50 starting.

I am attending the same school he went to, I am half way done and will be graduating in 9 months I was hoping people in other states could help me guide my search for high-paying LPN cities in different states.

In las vegas i just got a lpn new grad imc position for 28.75 an hour...were a high demand area for nurses......i have fellow grads who are making similar in subacute facilities and hospice centers.

Thanks for posting this. Vegas is on my wishlist. Do you have any suggestions what hospitals/companies to apply for?

Maybe you should move to Michigan. The pay rate is much higher for the LVNs.
