My highest pay rate as an LVN had been $27.04/hourly at a bottom-of-the-barrel nursing home in Texas in 2010, right before I earned my RN licensure. This nursing home has since closed.
I started working as a LPN in 2013 with a starting salary of $21.00. Now with a bit of experience here at my new place, I make $24.50. I live in NYC btw.
wow KS needs to catch up, I just got offered an LPN postiton and they told me starting pay was $12 then bump me to $14. I kindly turned it down as it was an hour drive one way. Another place I applied for is starting out at $17 which is great here in KS.
Canada is ridiculous. I make 22.39 + 14% in lieu of benefits so it comes to 25.50 ish. Hospitals make 27$... out west its 30$ starting and travel LPNs make like 45$ with bonus. Like i said- ridiculous.
I am looking into getting into traveling as an LPN while I finish my RN online. I am curious which agency to use? Want to try to get most for my time LTC and SKILLED and med surgery exp for 8 yrs.

I would like to know what are some of the highest salaries you have earned or heard of for starting LPNs?
