Travel nursing salary & benefits
Understanding your salary and benefits package
Get paid on time, every time
How much you’ll make as a travel nurse depends on a variety of factors, including specialty, location and the benefits you select. You may also be eligible for housing, meal and incidental stipends to reimburse you for actual expenses incurred while on assignment. Your recruiter will go over the specifics.
Travel nursing tip:
Being flexible with location, shift and other factors can help you find higher-paying jobs. It’s also important to consider factors outside of pay when evaluating an assignment — like the cost of living in the area.
