LVN making 42.50 in LTAC, started in the ER at 21.80. Only a year experience. Will never go back to the hospital unless it’s for registry in which then they will pay way more.
i wouldn't recommend hospitals for LVNs. it is more stress more work but with lower pay or same pay to a SNF. unless you want the exp for for when you become an RN. if your planning on being LVN only, the end goal should be director. i wouldnt recommend PRN positions unless if you need to because of kids and etc or u have another job for full time. PRN positions, pays you more but you get no benefits and it isnt like you be getting 80 hours as a PRN. you could be getting 24 hours for the pay period as a PRN that would still be less money than someone having a lower hourly wage but 80 hours. PRN never guarantees a shift, you just go when there is a need. your paycheck as a PRN would be all over the place. i would recommend 1 job full time and 1 job PRN for more money or side income. i work as a regional director LVN for california and making 145k a year right now. the only state i say that nurses are rich is just california, this state is the only state that pays nurses well. i met one RN who lives in the san fran bay who drives a lamborghini. crazy. hospitals here in california pays RNs $70.00/hr plus. if you work at kaiser which is the highest paying hospital in the country they pay their nurses $100/hour plus. my friend makes $118/hour right now. he works part time, still gets the benefits and works less than 20 hours per week and still made well over 6 figures. even tho we have the highest cost of living and pay the most for taxes. we still have a lot of money leftover to spend on whatever we want. RNs here are just rich rich. I wouldn't recommend nursing to anyone unless their plan is to move and work in california as a nurse.
I’m from Michigan. Due to the pandemic Lpns in LTC is making about $28-$30 an hr. RNs in the LTC is making $34-$40. In the hospitals here Lpns are making $20-$23, and RNs make $29-$32. These are all starting wages.
WOW! The difference in pay is drastic by each state. I’m in MN and our LPNS start at $21-25 based on experience. (PCT, CNA before). New grad RNs start anywhere from $34-$38 and in some hospitals even more. Your right though, nurses do deserve more than what they get paid in many states. Good luck with finishing your program!!
I live in CT I just got hired at a smaller community hospital making 27.17/hr. Keep in mind we have one of the highest cost of living and we are like the tax capital of the USA. So I don't think it's great money but it's a start for someone with no experience. We don't get bonus pay for picking up extra shifts, just time and a half. I do get evening, night and weekend differentials. As an RN I would probably start at 30-34/hr. I'm in an LPN to RN bridge program and I graduate spring 2023 so I took the job because I wanted to have nursing experience before becoming an RN. Love your videos keep them coming!
Thank you so much for the video. I'm about to start my LPN program and these are the things we need to know. Hope you're well and everything is working out 🥰
@@AlexisStarjai it’s not based on experience here. All Home health companies starts off at $30-$35 a hour here. I make $33 now. Just got a raise. That’s not a lot of money
@@AlexisStarjai no nursing jobs anymore pay “experience “ pay anymore! Maybe hospitals with unions and government! This is the south a “right to work “ state. So there is no based on experience pay! A new grad makes the same as an experienced nurse
Why would you work for $ 16? It doesn't make sense. I'm a warehouse worker and am getting $ 18 an hour. The job is flexible enough to allow me to attend Nursing school, which I will be graduating soon. I would NEVER under sale my services
Thank u so much for posting! I really love your videos. I’m in California, 18 days away from finishing my LVN program. In LTC out here most new nurses can expect to make $25-27 an hour. I just finished my last ATI (pharm). Going to take my comprehensive on 12/20 then nclex. My question is , how soon after u graduated from ur program did u take your nclex? Thank u for your videos, really enjoying them!!! Currently binge watching! Good luck on your first day on ur own. I’m sure u will do awesome!
🥺🥺 I needed to hear that, currently struggling. I finished school at the beginning of august then I took my nclex within a week of getting my ATT which was a month after finishing school.
@@nursingwithapril369 you will be ok. Everyone I know who is a nurse , lvn or RN, really struggles in the beginning. Take comfort in knowing that you will never have another “first day on your own” again. Every day will get a little bit easier. If u come from faith , pray. If you don’t (nothing wrong with that!) try to meditate before work, focus on breathing and stay away from too much caffeine lol ..it makes me more anxious if I have too much. I am a CNA and I have seen many new LVNs go through it, so I’m telling you this from an outside perspective , may not mean much…but I watched them a lot and I tried to help as much as I could, they appreciated it and I learned A LOT from them. U WILL make it, and this experience will make you stronger as an RN and as a person✌🏽
