So what can an LPN expect for compensation? According to the 2008 National LPN Salary Survey:
1. The average pay for an LPN in the U.S. in 2008 was $41,600 per year.
2. This is an increase from 2006 when the salary average was $38,184.
3. Alaska has the highest pay (based on four respondents). The pay there is $29 per hour.
4. Connecticut is pretty high also, at $25.58 per hour.
5. Idaho came in lowest, at a pay of $14.67 per hour.
Some people get sign–on bonuses, but fewer than several years ago. However, the good news was that if you did get a sign-on bonus, it was pretty good, at $1500.
