Published

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

@dolbyx40 what is the online RN bridge program you are taking?

I've been an LPN for 24 years. My highest hourly rate was 23.65, in 2007. That was the going rate for most LPN's in hospitals and LTC settings in that era. I was laid off in 2007 when they eliminated LPN's from the hospital and I did not work as a nurse again until 2010. NOW the rate is 19.50......new grads are making 17 an hour. This is Northeast Ohio. (nurses that have been employed for 8+ years in my current facility are still at around 23.75).

Happy to have a job but the face of nursing has altered. Obviously, so has the pay!
