The wages for Licensed Practical Nurses or LPN vary significantly, pertaining to the many factors that influence the wages such as the experience level of LPN professional, location of the job and the specific field in which the LPN is serving.
With reference to the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) findings of 2007, the average salary for an LPN was roughly $39,000 per year. The actual salaries may fluctuate between the higher extreme of about $52,000 and the lower extreme of about $27,000 because of different factors.
The most significant driver of the LPN wages is the years of experience of a particular LPN. A fresh LPN with no professional experience can expect an average annual income of $29,000 which is far below the overall average income of these professionals.
Another significant aspect which affects the LPN salary offered to professional in this field to a greater degree is the particular location where an LPN is choosing to work at. Not to forget that the highly paying areas may have higher cost of living as well so the better criteria to judge a particular area would be the buying power that it offers. The top 4 highly paying states for LPN professionals are Connecticut, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island where the annual wages on offer vary from $47,000 to $52,000.
The type of medical facility in which an LPN professional is serving also has a greater amount of influence on the salary he or she may be drawing. But unfortunately the high paying facilities do not have many opportunities to offer.
The types of jobs that require travelling tend to offer higher wages, mainly as a way of providing proper recompense for the inconvenience of not being at home. Such assignments may last from 3 to 12 months. These kinds of jobs have a lot of demand and hence the benefits tend to be higher as well.
