LVN- AUSTIN TEXAS PAY

Published

Specializes in Alzheimer/Dementia.

I am trying to figure out what kind of pay to expect from a LTC facility. I'm going to interviews soon and don't want to ask for too much (or too little). I recently moved to North Austin, TX (Round Rock, Cedar Park are all options for work) so I have no idea what the going rate is. I have been a LVN for over 5 years.

Thanks. I looked, it's a bit sporifice to be honest. It looks like at least $21. I think I am going to ask for $23 and hope I am not overshooting to the point I scare them off from counter offering.

More information is always great but I feel so lost haha. Maybe I should ask for $25. I just don't want to lose a job opportunity over making a mistake. This would be my first job in Austin and the cost of living is higher here than where I am from, but so many people say nurses are underpaid here. Thanks for the info and help though!!

There have been some good responses here. You also need to look at the bene's. Some agencies offer no benefits but good pay. Other facilities will have a nice mix of pay & bene's but they work you like a dog. By the way, Round Rock isn't considered to be north Texas. It's central.

Good to know! I guess I just meant North of Austin from downtown. Still don't know much about the area other than that haha. Hopefully I find something good soon!
