I just graduated as an LPN and got hired for private duty nursing. I am making $19/hour with a permanent case. 3-12h shifts. Not an extremely highly skilled shift, so in my small rural town in TN I was happy to get this. The nursing home pays only $14 and the hospital no longer hires LPNs. Also, with having 3 set shifts, I can do PRN with this company or elsewhere. Seems awesome at this point.
