Ohio LPN new grad $15.45 per hour prn no shift differential....second job part $15.00 per hour. Both nursing homes. Northwest Ohio. Seems farely low when I see other postings.

I have heard that U of M Hospital hires LPN's you might want to check them out. I'm not sure the pay, but hospital experience is the best in my opinion.

I will probably have to move but in the end who takes care of these people?

Well, that situation going to force a change.

Just curious....I am looking to be in the $23.00 to $25.00 p/h range for LTC here in Denver when I graduate this Spring....Any feedback would be appreciated....am I in or out of line for my expectations?

I think out of line. Most LTC's in Denver start at 18.00/hr, add in up to 2.00/hr for diffs, if you are lucky.

I work at a LTC in Aurora, brand new grad, make 20.00/hr PT, no bene's. However, I will say, I have plenty of opportunity to pull 40 hours a week and I love my facility.

Thanks for your feedback...hmmm, I am a bit concerned with those numbers though....I was banking on at minimum 21-22.00 per hr....we will see, only 5 weeks 'til graduation....I am willing to work nights/weekends, any bump there?....

I love my facility.

So...is your facility looking for a awesome, new graduate to add to the roster?....:cheers:

I am not sure if they are still hiring or not. At my facility, no diffs, and strictly no overtime. In fact, I heard some of the aides complain that their wages went down by as much as 50 cents due to them no longer getting differential. They are working hard at bringing the facility back in line.

My suggestion is just to keep your head up and keep applying. The market around here is really tight right now, and in my application experience, most of the facilities are looking for experience. I got lucky.

When I worked in Assisted Living as a building manager, I made $18.00/hr. I now work in a physician office and took the $1.50 per hour pay cut. My first raise their was $1. - so, Its all good. NO nights, no weekends, no holidays....worth every bit of that 50¢
