The LPN work and salary review

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.
