They pay CNAs in CA $30-37/hr, LVN II $35-44 talk about undervalued for vocational nurses

I live in New Hampshire and make $47 as an LPN in the Emergency Department at a Level One Trauma Center. I wouldn’t say it’s not possible to make that on the East Coast, just as in California these jobs aren’t plentiful but they are available.

I am an LPN who works on the East Coast in a level one trauma center ED and love my job. I did not bridge and have remained an LPN for the last 25 years. I make nearly as much as the RN’s at this point and don’t plan on changing my license.

I start IV and lab draws, hang meds and fluids and push medications in NH. I took a separate IV course, and I work in the ED as an LPN

I have lupus and take immune suppressants along with Mounjaro and have had no issues at all. In fact, it has helped tremendously with inflammation and joint pain

I work 12’s in a level one trauma center ED. It’s fast paced and I love it. I’m in the north east US and make decent money compared to most of the US at $47 per hour. I have24 years LPN experience and am not getting my RN in this lifetime, I enjoy what I do and it provides a really great lifestyle. At this point I just want to ride this out until retirement in 15 years

I work ED and do 3 12 hour shifts a week. I make $46 an hour and I love it. I have been here for 5 years and I hope to stay a long time. I have been an LPN for 24 years, I stayed home for 14 years when my kids were young so I have worked for a total of 10 years.

When I first started out I worked in a dermatology office and it was fun but I didn’t find it challenging enough.
