Pay for LTC is $19-23.. hm health pays the best for LVn's here $33-38 per visit..or the best is private duty hm health where u stay at their hm for a whole shift usually 8-12hrs, $22-26/hr, but its hard to get regular work sometimes.if u work with Peds and ventilator pts. youll def hav NO problem.There are also many assisted living facilities out here, its less hectic than LTAC for $18-21..Houston is veeeery spread out so many jobs are on the out skirts of town..Most LVN's i kno that make great money hav mor than 1 job and travels all over the area. The medical center here is #1 in the nation so theyre very picky about who they employ and ive noticed it had trickled down into the LTAC arena. Here LVN are getting phased out, they dont consider u anurse here unless u hav RN..To make the best situation for yourself here get ur RN!
