WakeMed’s posted LPN pay appears to be around $31.04 per hour in the Raleigh-Durham area, based on employee-reported salary data.

For context, WakeMed’s own nursing float-pool listings show internal nursing pay bands starting at $47.25 per hour for certain float-pool roles, but that is not specific to LPNs and likely applies to other nursing positions.

What this means

  • Best estimate for LPN starting pay: about $31/hour.
  • Reported range on salary sites: roughly $65,211 to $89,391 annually , based on a small number of submitted salaries.
  • Exact offer can vary by unit, experience, shift, and whether the role is full-time, float pool, or contract.

Practical takeaway

If you’re asking what a new LPN would likely start at, $31/hour is the clearest public number available right now. The real offer could land a bit above or below that depending on the specific WakeMed posting and your experience.

TL;DR: WakeMed LPN pay is publicly showing around $31.04/hour in Raleigh-Durham.
