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

I started at 18 in FL. But I have made as low as $16.50 and as high as $22.
In California I know home health pays like $17, but I made 27 on hospice and 33 for Kaiser.

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.

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.
