I just graduated in December and passed my boards in January.
I'm working at a Nursing Home and making base pay of 17/hr for working 7-3, 18/hr for working 3-11, and 19/hr working 11-7 . We also get a pay raise each year of up to 3%. Also full time employees get health, dental and vision insurance for a very small price.
Right now I'm working weekends, once a week and I can get called in if someone calls in sick. It's a pretty good job, downside is having anywhere from 26-30 patients.

are there any LPN here from Massachusetts or Rhode Island? Do you mind me asking how much you make an hr?

LPN's are making alot more than I am with my 2.5 years experience. Good for them but times are tough for my family. I make 18/hour. I have been told that NP's only make 45k around here. Sorry, but I can't live on that anymore. Too much responsibility for too little $$. I have been told that is why there are no PA's here. They will not settle for this pay. Could be true because I do not know any PA's. NP's staff the ER most of the time. BUT there is no industry here and everyone is medicaid or the working non insured. I will probably have to move but in the end who takes care of these people?

Any LPNs in the Chicago or surrounding areas here? I am a new LPN making $13 an hour on the Med-Surg floor in a rural FL hospital. Moving back home to Chicago sometime next year...curious to what the pay difference may be!!

I make about 14.50/ hr working in a middle school in southcentral PA. Great scehdule, even greater benefits- only $15/ month! I get paid all year 'round but the downside is it's like working pt because the checks are cut to compensate for not working over the summer. Hoping to switch to a DR office (interview's tomorrow!), where I would be making $17 an hour and working all year long. It would be a nice boost in pay!
