I live on the gulf coast and the RN's here start off at around 20 right out of school. I'm not sure about LPN's though. It will prob vary a little at each place but thats the norm.

Not a lot... CNAs in northern states make more than some starting RNs. It also HIGHLY depends on where you work (hospital, LTC, Dr. Office).

At the hospital I worked at, 5 years ago (also on Gulf Coast), LPNs started at $11.50, RNs started out at $17. It has gotten a little better, but NOT nearly as high as salary.com says... UNLESS you go agency.
