i am a lpn student in okc ok, and i graduate in may. however while visiting blytheville over the christmas break i saw a add saying lpn fresh out of school would start off at 23 an hour. and rn was about 35. i know if lil small b-ville will pay that much the pay in memphis is great. in fact when i graduated high school in 1997 rn in memphis was making 27-35/hr. you live what 5 minutes from the bridge? let me know what happens because i am going back home to get my rn and i refuse anythin under 30. they only pay lpn 11.50 here in okc and rn 20 and this is supposed to be a city so good luck!!!
