Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) in Florida earn an average of $19.19/hr and a yearly income of $39,440. Nurses working in metropolitan areas tend to earn higher salaries than in non-metropolitan parts of the state, although there is likely to be a relatively higher cost of living in those areas.
In some locations, LPNs enjoy much higher pay than the average. Connecticut reported average wages for LPNs in all industries of $53,560 in 2012, according to the BLS. Nevada, Alaska and Massachusetts had average pay exceeding $52,000 per year for all LPN jobs, and licensed practical nurses in New Jersey averaged more than $51,000 per year.
