What is the Salary for Travel Nurses?

Travel nurses’ salaries vary widely based on factors such as specialty, location, and experience. It’s crucial to understand that pay packages differ significantly; for example, a travel L&D nurse in California will earn differently than a travel med-surg nurse in Kentucky.

Many travel nurses move between states and sometimes even specialties, leading to varied pay from assignment to assignment. Additionally, you may be eligible for housing, meal, and incidental stipends to reimburse actual expenses incurred during your assignment. Your recruiter will discuss all these details with you during your search.

Our recruiters work diligently to find positions that meet your financial goals. Flexibility in your job search, including location, shift, and other factors, can result in higher-paying opportunities.
