Wages inOKC, Galveston, Tx, and Tampa, Fl.

Hi, I have been a resident of OKC, Ok. for 2 years, and I don't believe that I am being paid a fair wage. I have been LPN for almost 15 years. My pay rate here has not been above $16.50 a hour. Per mangagement this is a competative wage. I would like to know from a fellow Okie or anyone else who might know is this true. Also I am thinking about relocating to Galveston, Texas or Tampa Florida. Could someone please tell me the wages for LPN's there? I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks, Christi in Pennsylvia for that information. Does anyone else have any wages for me? I really need them for Oklahoma City, Galveston Texas, and Tampa Florida; but any other city or state is appreciated.

just read your letter about your pay. It is top for lpn's. I work for the hospital in pauls valley and I make 16 per deim.I do not know about other places.

Thanks, Trina in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. I really appreciate you responding to my question. Does anyone else have any more hourly wages for lpn's?

I have been an LPN since July 2007 & am making $19.40/hr on the evening shift at a hospital in RI. Nursing homes pay higher- $22-24/hr.

Hey thanks, Kathy in Warwick, Rhode Island that's a very good wage for a new nurse. Sounds like I might be trying to move to the wrong state. How's the weather in the winter? Hey, does any Galveston, Texas or any Tampa, Florida lpn's have any wages to tell me about? Everyone I really do appreciate your answering me, and giving me this information. Thanks again Kathy in Warwick, RI.

The LPN/LVN pay is not great because basically you're only one step above a nursing assistant. I would suggest going for your RN. You have more options and as you know there is a severe nursing shortage.

Hello, Joy in Baltimore, Maryland, thanks for your reply. As I'm quite sure you know, lpn's are nurses,and we are 1 step below associate rn's. I am going for my rn degree; but I still want to know the wages of lpn's. Because that is what my title is at this time. Thanks again for your reply.

Does anyone know any thing about lvn programms in Bay Area, CA
Looking for something not very expencive

The winters here are cold with snow; summer is warm, hot/humid sometimes. Winter wasn't too cold this year- only a few days less than 20 degrees. We have beautiful beaches here and lots to do in all seasons. We are 1 hour from Boston, 3 hours from the White Mountains in New Hampshire and 3 1/2 hours from New York City. But, I think our cost of living is pretty high here! Good luck to you!

Thanks, Kathy in Warwick, Rhode Island. I appreciate your help. I think I'm leaning more towards Tampa, Florida area. I don't like the cold. So if any lpn's in the Tampa/St. Petes/Clearwater area uses this site. Could you please give me information on the wages for lpn's in this area? The best of luck to you also, Kathy and the rest of our hard working nursing professionals.

You are underpaid most likely. I left OKC being a nurse for 4yrs and my pay was 18/hr.

Thank-you, Jae in Tucson, Arizona. I appreciate your response.

Here in NY you get paid much better through an agency, or, if the institution is unionized. Sad isn't it? Most times, we LPN's do the same work as RN's

I have lived in Orlando,FL. for six years and I have been an LPN for 16 years. I haven't been able to get a wage above $16.00/hr. I left a job in Springfield, Mass. Making $24.00/hr. day shift in 2003. I'm sure their making more now. If a fare wage is what your looking for, you won't find it in Florida! Hope this helps.

Im not sure what the wages would be farther down south. I live in Northern Texas and have been an LVN for 5 years. I get paid 13.50. Im sure south Texas would be higher considering the larger cities are south and eastern, but that would be in comparison to other parts of the state. My pay is about average for around here. Good luck. Seems I need to think about relocating. This is depressing.

Thanks, Underpaid/apparently in Quanah, Texas. Sounds like both of us are underpaid. But nursing is our calling, so it will work out.

Hi, Nora in Saugerties, New York, we do work darn hard as nurses. It is sad that nurses are not paid their true value.

The winters here are cold with some although this winter wasn't too bad, hardly any snowk and very few days where temp went below 25 degrees. Summer is warm, hot/humid sometimes; fantastic beach weather right now, and we have miles of the beautiful Atlantic ocean with lots of great beaches! We have lots to do in all seasons. We are 1 hour from Boston, 3 hours from the White Mountains in New Hampshire and 3 1/2 hours from New York City. But, I think our cost of living is pretty high here! Good luck to you!

I am also looking to relocate to another state thinking about Columbus,Ohio can somebody tell me what is the base rate for LPN with 16 years of nursing home exp?I know someone in Maryland who just finished the LPN program rate is 19.00 an hour.This state you are paid for your years of exp. so can you imagine what some LPN'S are making there.

Hi, well, looking at what wages are around the south, I thought I was getting a fairly decent wage. In this area starting wage begins at $14.50 an hour, I've been working with the same company for over a year and the wage is now $15.92. I work 80%, but I also have paid vacation, sick time, insurance, and a retirement fund.

I'm giving all this up to move to the Bella Vista, AR area. Getting rid of some of the cold weather for something warmer, I hope!

I started as an LPN 4 years ago in AL. At that time in a hospital, I made 11.75/hr. Its funny how there, the RNs acted as if you were uneducated. I mean, they only have to go to school for 2 years. Niether LPNs or RNs are highly educated. It doesnt seem to me that having 1 more year of courses would make some one too much more intelligent. Anyway, since then I have mad 22/hr in AZ and 26/hr in WA as an LPN. In AZ your considered high class with that wage. RNs in AL only started out at 20 or so. Here in WA in a town full of rich people, they think your poor at 26/hr. Go figure. Does anyone know what an LPN can make in southern CO?

Dear Steve,
What information can you send me about the pay rate for LPN's in Atlanta,Ga.with years of exp. in long term care/nursing homes.

Appreciate the info.from anybody as well.

Hi! I live in Dover, Delaware ( beautiful beaches,very mild winters, and perfect springs and falls!) Around here, $22.00/hr is about tops for LPN and $16.00/hr about lowest.
I am almost LPN (in my clinicals) and then I will be getting my RN. I lived in Florida before that and they really don't make good wages in FL.

I forgot, we are 1 hr from Phila, 1 hr from Baltimore, 2 hrs from NY city and 2 hrs from Wash DC. Plenty of communiting opportunities!

IM RELOCATING TO SAN ANTONIO TX THIS WINTER. I WANTED TO KNOW SOME OF THE AVERAGE PAY RATES THERE FOR LPN'S?

LPNS in Lancaster County make 18 to 24 dollars in Snfs and less in the local hospitals. The peaceful rural/suburban life here is nice (Amish) and winters are mild. We are 1 hour from Phila and a few hours from Nj and De beaches. Rentals are usually quite reasonable and the housing market is steady. You can rent a 4 br house in Lancaster for 600 a month!
I have been an Lpn for 20 years and the wages are not increasing as they should with the cost of living etc. But of course the whole healthcare system is screwed up.Yes we choose this career as caring professionals but we deserve care and respect! Not to constantly be taken advantage of-why should we settle?
Finally, I have worked with highly intelligent CNAs and semi retarded Rns. I do not believe book educated people are always that bright-there is alot to be said for social IQ! GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Hello, I live in Southeastern Colorado (Lamar to be exact). I just graduated with my License of Practical Nursing. Although I am not working as an LPN (because I am continuing my degree for RN) my friend was hired last week on a Med/Surg floor at our small hospital making 16.21/hr. Another girl I know was hired at a long term care center for 14.25/hr. I feel the wages are decent and price of living is cheap (at least here in Lamar). My email address is jessica.cherry2008@yahoo.com if you have anymore questions

I have been an LPN for 19 years and my pay is now $18.50. pretty bad for 19 years of work in the same place.

Thanks

want to know pay rate for LPN in the State of Maryland

Deborah Bwayili in Loganville, Georgia said: want to know pay rate for LPN in the State of Maryland

new grads with no experience will start out with 17.00-19.00 an hour also you can get shift diff and weekend diff.With years of exp. you can make up to 30.00 plus weekend diff and shift diff and this is not agency pay that I am quoting.

What do the pay rate look like in Georgia?

The pay in Georgia is not great,it is from 14-18 an hour
