There is nothing stated in the bill for LPN's. What about us?? Will hospitals start replacing some RN's with LPN's when the bill is passed? They need to include LPN's in this bill. Gino

i am moving back to nj from fl. i went to nursing school here in fl because of the long waiting list in nj. i graduated dec 18th 2003 as an lpn. the pay in fl stinks, fl needs to put the crack pipe down!and the cost of living is rising. what are the salary ranges in ocean & monmouth counties for an lpn?? i've lived in the ocean county area my whole life & i'm eger to move back:coollook:. i'm in the process of endorsing my license to nj, i did it a month ago and still havent heard anything!!! please write back, gino [email protected]

all i have to say is this. when you are out of school and start working as a nurse in the real world you will be humming a new tune. i thought the same way when i was in school... i wanted to change the world. well, their is a reality check & you will soon find out. my area is port st. lucie & stuart. lpn salary; hosp. 11.88 - 12.50 an hr - nurse to pt. ratio 6-12:1 ltc 13.50 - 15.00 an hr. - nurse to pt. ratio 22-30:1 i am moving back to nj were the pay rate is 10.00 an hr. higher. i preform nursing duties at any job, i work for the $$$ not for charity!! fl needs to put the crack pipe down!!! and start paying nurses what they deserve!!
