LPN Salaries

LPN Salaries by state vary in much the same way that registered nurse salaries do. The top five industries that pay LPN salaries are general medical and surgical hospitals, nursing care facilities, offices of physicians, home health care services and employment services such as agency and travel nurse companies. The LPN or Licensed Practical Nurse is considered to be a vocational or technical certificate nurse. Training is usually 1-2 years less than for a Registered Nurse. This is one of the reasons why LPN salaries can be significantly lower than registered nurse salaries.
