It dePends on where you work and where you live. Here in sc lpns make a decent amount in nursing homes $16-18/hr (that's around where I live). They make less in a hospital and less at a doctors office. A friends of mine works at an obgyn office and makes under $14/hr.

Specializes in LTC currently.

like the previous poster said, it depends on the job and the location. Here in chicago, LPNs start off $22-23 an hour in Long Term Care facilities, acute care LPNs which is somewhat rare in the Chicago area makes 17-19 an hour.

I live in California, close to San Francisco. LVN's here can start at about $20-22 per hour or more, depending on where you work.

It depends on the facility in Fort Worth. Nursing homes in the FW area will pay between $18 and $24 hourly. Home health and hospice will pay between $20 and $25 hourly. Clinics and doctors' offices will offer between $15 and $20 per hour. Hospitals are usually the lowest paying for LVNs, with a pay rate between $15 and $18 hourly for a new grad. Agencies pay the most (almost $30 per hour), but there are not many agencies that will hire a new LVN with no experience.
