Question for those who transitioned from lpn to rn successfully

[NurseBetty_RN]

This question is for anyone who has worked as an lpn and has bridged over and now working as an rn, do you see much of a difference in your take home pay? For the same amount of hours worked is your take home:

$0-$300 more per check

$301-900 more per check or

$901 + more per check?

Middle one for me. Or answer B.

[Davey Do]

I made $8.99/hr as an LPN and $12.85/hr in 1990 when I became an RN.

I started out making $7/hr more as a RN than I did starting out as an LVN/LPN. I can't compare pay checks because as a LVN I worked 8hr shifts, and I currently do 12hr as a RN. Also, the weekend and night shift differentials factor in greatly to my pay check.

[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

It is easier for me to think of it in terms of annual pay versus an hourly rate. However, I'll think back to my first year as an RN (2010).

I earned $27.04/hr with no shift differential as an LVN in 2010 immediately before becoming an RN. My first RN position paid $36.00 hr with a night shift differential of $2.50/hour from 7pm to 11pm and $4.00/hr from 11pm to 7am.
