dwern31 35 Posts Jan 23, 2009 Kambra,Where are you working? Are you in assisted living or something similar? How long ago did you become an LPN? Just curious as I just began the LPN program at OCC. Most posts here are for RN's so it's always nice to hear from an LPN.

Ready2hittheHospital 56 Posts Jan 26, 2009 salarywizard.com is a great place to look up current salaries. It even breaks down your bi-weekly paycheck with current tax rates.
kambra 31 Posts Jan 26, 2009 I have been an LPN for 14 months.We dont have shift diffs. OUr yearly are very low however. I think the max is .30 year raise.This is the second facility I have worked at and I got a 5.00 raise when I came to this one. I was awesome.

I didn't realize LPNs made as much as RNs.
ToxicShock 506 Posts Feb 3, 2009 This may be a stupid question, but do wages depend on where you work? For example, would a nurse in LTC make more than one in the ER?Is there much of a pay difference between an LPN and an RN?I have heard that ADNs make less than BSNs. Is this true, or does it depend on various factors?

Is this true, or does it depend on various factors?Yes an LPN working in LTC will make a lot more than an LPN in a hospital. An RN usually makes (from what I've heard) more than double what an LPN earns.Some places may pay a BSN educated RN a small amount more an hour, but I have yet to see that.
rjflyn, ASN, RN 1,240 Posts Specializes in Emergency. Has 23 years experience. Feb 4, 2009 In my 20 yr plus career I have yet to find any place that pays BSN nurse anything significant above what they pay other RN's unless they are working in a management position. The only time I aee LPN wages approach RN pay is in LTC settings- often its just to attract a nurse. You cant run a "nursing home" without a nurse of some type. I would not go so far to say an RN makes double what an LPN makes, maybe 50% more.
