What do LPN's make?

[erynsmom]

I've heard several different people give me an example of what they make, and it varies greatly. Obviously its going to be higher/lower depending on where you live. Can anyone give me a ballpark of what they make an hour?

Tera, try salary.com, it's a good "Ballpark" indicator.

Here's for Atlanta GA: http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layoutscripts/swzl_compresult.asp?narrowdesc=&jobcode=HC07000004&statecode=GA&jobaltername=Licensed+Practical+Nurse+%28LPN%29&state=Georgia&jobtitle=Licensed+Practical+Nurse&narrowcode=HC05&metrocode=8&geo=Atlanta%2C+GA&narrowdesc=Healthcare+--+Nursing&pagenumber=1&zipcode=&searchpage=keywordtitleselect&searchtype=1&signupemail=Enter+e-mail+address&choosesignup=0

And for the erika I did one for Boston MA:http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layoutscripts/swzl_compresult.asp?jobcode=HC07000004&jobaltername=Licensed+Practical+Nurse+%28LPN%29&jobtitle=Licensed+Practical+Nurse&narrowdesc=Healthcare+%2D%2D+Nursing&narrowcode=HC05&zipcode=&metrocode=23&statecode=MA&state=Massachusetts&pagenumber=1&searchpage=keywordtitleselect&searchtype=1&geo=Boston%2C+MA

Of course as you all said, it depends on where. And salary in Boston and Atlanta versus a small town in the sticks will vary considerably.

I work for a doctor ,plastic surgeon.

I make $21.00/hour...plus $100.00/month for driving expenses.

I get paid for 28 hours/week....but... if I work 26 hours, the good doctor still pays me for 28 hours.....of course, if I work 32 hours I get paid for it!
