I live in rural west Tennessee . First job offered 16.50 in LTC. Just offered 18.50 for a PDC with 3 1/2 years experience .

Assisted Living in Memphis generally start off at 18 to 19 an hour. Always more for LPN's in Private Duty sector. Check Craigslist and indeed.com . Good luck!

Starting salary is around 19hr with little experience .

Go on Craigslist for Memphis. Nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities are always hiring L PNs.

I have B.S. in Mass Communication from over 10 years ago. Then decided to go back for my LPN 4 years ago. Fastest option for me at the time. Having both gives me more opportunities in the job market. Instead of just one field. You may decide to get into management. Which they will want someone with a degree. Most Assisted Living and Nursing Home Administrators are not nurses.

Rural West Tennessee starting pay new grad $16.50.

I ask myself that everytime when I am hired in a different area that I do not have experience in. Be confident in yourself. Remember what you learned in school and work only within your scope as an lpn.

I didn't worry about NCLEX to the very end. I completed a 12 month program. Main thing is staying focused. Nursing school is different from regular school. I have a BS in Mass Communication. You have to study long hours and quickly figure out which method works best for you. I googled a NCLEX PN prep class. Yes they exisit! I took Sylvia Rayfield prep course best money I ever spent. If you don't have to work then don't. Good luck!

Run! That is unsafe even if it is Assisted Living.

Keep looking. Unfortunately as LPNs the job market is limited. Look on indeed.com and Craigslist. Seek additional certifications and volunteer while you are still searching. Some places will not hire you without a year experience. So at least stay in a hospital or ltc for a year once you are hired. Good luck!

Take the math part again it will improve your chance if getting it.

I'm in west tn I just looked at the reviews from the other states. But I have called for information.

What are the entrance requirements? TEAS????
