No matter what stage of the hiring process you're in right now, it can be extremely helpful to know what LVN jobs pay in your area. Here's a three-step process that can help you develop an accurate picture of what you should be paid as an LVN:

1. Look through the salaries for similar LVN jobs in your area. Remember that salaries vary a lot between different parts of the country and between urban and rural areas.
2. Add or subtract from the median salary to account for your experience or your lack thereof. More experienced LVNs will, as a rule, command higher wages.
3. Increase your estimate based on whether you have any in-demand skills that justify a higher pay level. These may include special training, fluency in a second language, or a degree in nursing from a four-year college.

In addition to a fair salary, you should be able to negotiate extra perks and benefits that make LVN jobs even more rewarding and profitable. As you look through the benefits employers are offering, you should keep an eye out for:

• Regular performance bonuses, which can be awarded for high levels of competence or for hitting key metrics through the year
• Continuing education and retraining benefits, including tuition support if you would like to earn a degree
• Flexible schedules that include part-time options, flex time, and more than the U.S. average for vacation time

These benefits are especially likely to be offered by large employers, such as Cigna and Aetna.
