CNA/RN/LPN/PA/APN/fulltime/parttime/casual whatever your profession is, just state it and share Last edit by Fatima41200 on Dec 19, '08
This question seems to come up weekly on the forums.

There are so many variables: whether you are an LPN, RN, APN?, whether you work full-time, part-time, prn?, etc.. Can you narrow it down??

I wasn't going to respond at first... but what the heck. I'm a CNA and make 16.17 dollars and hour !

Wow, I didn't think cna's could make $16.00 an hour. I think around here they make 10-12 tops.

Another major variable that affects someone's pay rate is location. For example, an RN in San Francisco could be earning more than $40 hourly while the RN in rural South Carolina could be earning less than $18 per hour. High cost-of-living locations tend to pay healthcare workers more than the rural and low cost-of-living regions.

There is just to much vaiation secondary to gepraphic location, state labor laws, state reimbursement rates, et. al. staff rn >40/hr.

Hospital LPN in rural GA, 13.15/hr + shift diff. for nights and weekends. It sucks, our hospital hasn't been able to give raises in five years. We are non-profit. But I am just grateful to have a job with all the layoffs.

Louisville, KYWhen I was a CNA 2 years ago, I started out @ $13 an hour - no experience- in a hospital.New Grad RN's (that's me!) start about 22 an hour.

Quote from Fatima41200wow thats alot for a cna! where do you work LTC, hospital, psych?

RN in Minnesota, $31.90/hr

Fatima...I see Pittsburgh in your location...me too. What areas are you looking at?
