Starting LPN wage

Published

HI,

I am new to this site and have really enjoyed reading the post. I will be graduating in Sept 06 and would love to move to the Columbus/Bexley area. I am anxious to start an RN program as soon as I can once I get adjusted and am wondering what type of pay I can expect for new LPNs. Do they pay more if your are IV cert? Any chance of getting a higher rate if you have honers? ( wishful thinking ) THANKS!!!

Specializes in critical care and LTC.

I live about 35 miles north of Dayton (new LPN with IV) and I have heard from bottom scale 13.50 to 17.25 and hour. I like the 17.25 but not enough I'm going for my RN also.

It really depends on where you work at. Hospitals don't pay worth crap. LTC pays around 19 - 21 and hour. Dr's offices pay around 17.00 Dialysis around 19.00 - 21.00. Agency pays more but if you are a new graduate get experience before you try agency. Home Care is through an agency and pays around 24 - 26 a visit.
