I am currently enrolled in a LVN program and will be attending class in September. I am 23 years old and I currently make $52K a year. I have my medical assisting certification and practiced as a MA for 3 year (office manager for a private Dr. office.) I am currently out of the medical field working as an administrator for an engineering firm. My ultimate goal is to become and RN, but since I work full time I have to take the LVN to RN route. I have just a few questions for the California LVN's...
HOW MUCH CAN A NEW GRAD LVN EXPECT FOR SALARY?
SIGN-ON BONUS? IF YES, HOW MUCH ON AN AVERAGE?
TYPICAL WORK SCHEDULE? 8 OR 12 HOURS SHIFTS? CAN I WORK OVERTIME?
I greatly appreciate everyone taking the time to respond..
I for one haven't ever heard of 29/hr for LPN's anywhere. So I'd still like to know myself exactly where in Cali one could be paid that rate.
I am always amused when I read posts in which people assume that because they dont get paid well where they live that no one else does. I promised myself I would no longer reply to those kinds of posts but, MAN! it gets hard not too.
Specializes in Mostly LTC, some acute and some ER,.

I agree. . . You have to work your way up with longevity and experience.
