[cortsie1982]

hi everyone.. i live in california and was thinking of changing jobs from an in home heath care agency to kaiser permanente but my boss says they dont pay well.. i was curious to find out if anyone knows any info.. ive searched but cant find any starting rate.. i currently make 19 an hour and seeing that if i had to make a pay cut i wouldnt be worth it.. or maybe they start low and you quicky build with experience..

any advice?

Hi, you can look at hotjobs.com or careerbuilders. When I last checked it said lvn1 paygrade 25 perdiem

I attended an LVN program in the Los Angeles area. Several employers came to my school during the week before graduation, to recruit us. Kaiser Hospital was starting new LVNs at $17 hourly, and this was in October 2005. That pay rate is rather pitiful for Southern California, as I currently earn $19 hourly in the state of Texas.

thank you so much for your help.. i guess the great thing about kaiser is your pay rate goes up rather quickly with great benefits and a big cap rate :)
