I also suggest you check into a two year<a href="http://www.rnstudents.com/"> RN </a>program, because you will be doing almost exactly the same thing as an<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>for less money. Nursing homes tend to pay highest to start, but if you are in a hospital you will have to work your way up to the higher wage. Clinics do not pay well at all. Overall, the south is not known for it's high pay for<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>and<a href="http://www.rnstudents.com/"> RN </a>unless you are near a major city. I am in Illinois and make 22-26 hourly working as an agency LPN, if that helps, but I am close to chicago, so that is the major city that my area has to compete with to keep nurses.
