There are several factors to look upon when determining a LPN salary; location, level of experience, qualifications, and type of medical facility a LPN is employed. LPNs expertise include the following tasks: taking of blood, feeding the patients, collecting lab samples, applying bandages, recording patient status and progress. A Licensed Practical Nurse or LPN can make $39,000 per year in average. In United States of America, LPNs situated in the East Coast earn more because of the highly industrialized environment where there is a higher cost of living. Population density and social classes are also factors. Geographical setting is the biggest factor in determining a LPN salary. States where they can earn the range of $49,000 to $52,000 include California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. States with the lowest rate, about $29,000, for LPNs are Missouri and Alabama. Cost of living in different states vary too so we cannot say that LPNs in more industrialized cities are richer than other LPNs around the country.
