Hey me too!! Although, I'm thinking about heading up to columbus this fall. [weird huh? Lol.] Email me anytime! my email is at [email protected]. I also sent you a private message!

What part of Ohio are you in?

This topic has been around before, but I was looking for something more up to date. Things have fluctuated in past two years or so. I know people are always looking for salaries and most of the time its for RN's. I'll start ;-) Around the Cincinnati area here I'm not sure about the starting pay or pay in hospitals for LPN's. But I know LTC facilities are about 16 to start ranging up to about 22. I've seen ad's in the paper saying $24 but I don't know what that was for. Agencys are about 21-25 dollars for LPN's also. I believe Jobs are plentiful around here! Also when I was up in columbus, I heard an instructor saying they are starting their LPN's out with $27-30 while the RN's get about $40-50 ..I don't really believe that, but I just tossed that out there maybe for some clarification?

I was wondering the difference between LTC facilities and retirement communitys? Are retirement communitys a bit different or a little better than a LTC facility?

I'm looking for any STNA classes in the Cincinnati and any surrounding area's. Any reply would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou!

I will be basically funding myself for school since my mom doesn't want to pay for me, which is fine. I'm wondering how many of you LPN's had to get loans and how did you manage to pay them? Also isn't there some sort of loan forgivenss for perkins loans? All comments will be deeply appreciated! Thanks
