What is your current LPN salary

recent LPN pay information

Specializes in geriatrics, psych.

I work LTC and have been an LPN 20 years. This is in KY. Base pay is $12/hr for new grads. I make only $16.35/hr. I got $0.50 for every 5 years experience which is $2. There's a $0.50/hr shift diff for 2nd shift and $1/hr night shift. We haven't had a raise in years but when I started there I got a couple raises. I have poor pay considering I have so much experience but that's how it is in this area. I know a doctors office that starts LPN's out at $9/hr. which is crazy! This low pay is a small part of the reason I'm back in school. Of course in my area CNA's only make minimum wage and CMA's start at barely over minimum wage.

I absolutely agree because this is what a lot of local factory workers make. Unfortunately, it is also what nurses are paid in my area. Sad but true. I hope when I complete RN school that I can relocate. The pay is so ridiculous and there's not a lot of opportunity for good experience in the area unless you do agency work and travel a good distance. :-(

Nj ... Hospice job $26 , a Per diem nursing home $22 , it kind of varies ... Does anyone know the LPN rate in Georgia? I'm looking to move there next year, NJ is getting too expensive

I have a friend in GA only making 21/hr, she was an LPN, now new grad RN (her experience has a PN didn't help raise her hourly rate at all, which is utter BS IMO. She makes what other new grad RNs make.)
