Travel Nurse Pay & Benefits

How much do travel nurses make?

UNDERSTANDING TRAVEL NURSE SALARIES AND YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

Several factors come into play when discussing the compensation for travel nurses, including:

When aiming to optimize your earnings, it’s crucial to recognize that pay packages vary based on your specialty and location. For example, a travel L&D nurse in California will receive a different compensation package compared to a travel med-surg nurse in Kentucky.

Many travel nurses move between states and, at times, even switch specialties, leading to variations in pay from one assignment to another. You may also qualify for housing, meals, and incidental stipends to reimburse you for actual expenses incurred during your assignment. Your recruiter will discuss all these particulars with you during your search.

Your recruiter is dedicated to finding positions that align with your financial objectives. It’s worth noting that being flexible in terms of location, shift, and other factors often opens up opportunities for potentially higher pay. You can log in and view pay packages and facility information for all available jobs.
