That depends on what type of degree the nurse has attained.

An LPN, usually goes to school for 18 months (depending on the program) and will work in nursing homes, doctors offices or home care. In Ohio they "usually" do not work in hospitals anymore simply because hospitals give more advanced care.

Registered nurses (which myself and my wife are) go to school a minimum of 2 years and have more time to study and practice a higher level of nursing care. However, now hospitals are interested in RNs that have obtained a bachelor degree (4 years of college), simply because the medical field is getting more advanced every year. RNs can staff the same positions as an LPN can, plus other fields such as hospitals, industrial nursing, management positions and even the armed forces of America.

Salaries? My guess is LPNs make mid to high teens per hour.

As an RN, I started out at $12.65/hr back in 1992. Today I make $25/hour and my wife is at $33/hour. However she has stayed in the same position (ICU) for almost 20 years in a big hospital in Ohio.

***If you are thinking of becoming a nurse....I strongly urge you go to school for your RN degree and not LPN, simply because you have more options available to you as an RN.

I'm sure one of the requirments to be a nurse is some type of education, and from your spelling it seems you've missed a few classes.
