Replacement needs will be a major source of job openings, as many workers leave the occupation permanently. Employment of LVN/LPN in nursing care facilities is expected to grow faster than the average. Such facilities will offer the most new jobs for LVN as the number of aged and disabled persons in need of long-term care rises. In addition to caring for the aged and the disabled, LVN in nursing care facilities will care for the increasing number of patients who will have been discharged from the hospital, but have not recovered enough to return home. Employment of LVN/LPN is expected to grow much faster than average in home healthcare services. This growth is in response to an increasing number of older persons with functional disabilities, consumer preference for care in the home, and technological advances that make it possible to bring increasingly complex treatments into the home. Salary The median expected salary for a typical Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in San Mateo, CA 94401, is $42,905. This basic market pricing report was prepared using the Certified Compensation Professionals′ analysis of survey data collected from thousands of HR departments at employers of all sizes, industries and geographies.
