That takes certifications, the right agencies, and knowing how to actually get submitted before someone else does.\n\nI pulled live pay data from [StellarNurse's job board](/travel-nursing-jobs/) to show you exactly where the money is, then walk through how to actually land one of these contracts, not just read about them.\n\n[I'm an L&D travel nurse](/about/), and my specialty happens to sit both close to my heart and near the top of the pay list below. So this comes from working the contracts, not only from the spreadsheet.\n\n### Do travel nurses really make more?\n\nYes. Travel RNs on StellarNurse average $2,180/week across the last 12 months - about $104,700 over a realistic 48-week year, since most travelers take unpaid breaks between 13-week contracts. \n\nStaff RNs earn a [median $46.90/hour](https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291141.htm) per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is about $87,797 a year at the same 36-hour week - and that's all 52 weeks paid, so this comparison runs conservative. \n\nThe gap gets a lot wider once you factor in specialty and location, which is what the rest of this article covers.\n\n[See the full salary breakdown](/travel-nurse-salary/how-much-do-travel-nurses-make/) for the complete picture beyond just the highest earners.\n\n## The highest paying travel nursing specialties\n\nHere's pay data pulled from StellarNurse's job board, ranked by median weekly pay on contracts open right now. These aren't estimates - they're real listings you could apply to today.\n\nThat's the difference between this table and most of what you'll find: everyone else publishes a yearly average. If you want that view too, [our salary guide averages 75+ specialties over 12 months](/travel-nurse-salary/#highest-paying-travel-nurse-specialties) - steadier, but it can't tell you what's open this week.\n\n| Specialty | Median weekly pay | Open contracts |\n|---|---|---|\n| RNFA (RN First Assistant) | $3,113 | 19 |\n| CVOR (Cardiovascular Operating Room) | $2,681 | 139 |\n| Cath Lab (Cardiac Catheterization) | $2,539 | 325 |\n| L&D (Labor & Delivery) | $2,509 | 711 |\n| PICU (Pediatric ICU) | $2,479 | 56 |\n| IR (Interventional Radiology) | $2,423 | 48 |\n| OR (Operating Room) | $2,294 | 737 |\n| NICU (Neonatal ICU) | $2,253 | 205 |\n| ICU (Intensive Care Unit) | $2,218 | 602 |\n| ED (Emergency Department) | $2,206 | 1,108 |\n| Med-Surg | $2,108 | 714 |\n| Telemetry | $2,100 | 280 |\n\n*Median weekly pay on contracts open as of August 2026, standardized to 36 hours. Rates fluctuate with demand, season, and location - the specialty rankings above hold, but check current listings for what a specific contract actually pays right now.*\n\nCRNA sits in its own tier at about $5,814/week, but that's advanced-practice pay on a multi-year anesthesia degree, not bedside RN work.\n\nFor everyone working within RN scope, CVOR and Cath Lab are the real top of the market with volume behind them - both pay noticeably above ICU and ED despite asking for comparable years at the bedside, mostly because fewer nurses are trained in them.\n\nRNFA posts higher than either, but there are rarely more than a couple dozen contracts open at once. Great pay if one lands in your window, not something to build a year around.\n\n### What type of travel nurse makes the most money?\n\nCRNAs earn the most by a wide margin, averaging $5,814/week across every CRNA package we've tracked. Within standard RN specialties, CVOR and Cath Lab nurses command the top rates, at a median of $2,540-2,680/week on contracts open now.\n\n### What is the best specialty for travel nursing?\n\nDepends what you're optimizing for. For maximum pay, CVOR and Cath Lab lead the RN specialties. \n\nFor the best combination of pay and job availability, L&D is hard to beat right now - near the top on pay with more than 700 contracts open. \n\nED and ICU run close behind on volume, with ED posting the most open contracts of any specialty. \n\nMed-Surg and Telemetry have huge availability too, but the lowest pay on this list.\n\n### Landing a job in a higher-paying specialty\n\nThe pay gap between Med-Surg and CVOR isn't random - it tracks directly to how many nurses are actually qualified to fill the role.\n\n- **Get the specialty certification early** - CCRN for ICU, CNOR for OR/CVOR, RNC-OB for L&D. [Certified nurses consistently out-earn their non-certified peers](https://www.aacn.org/certification/value-of-certification-resource-center/linkages-between-certification-and-outcomes-for-patients-systems-or-nurses), and certification can be the deciding factor between two similarly-experienced candidates.\n- **Build your specialty experience before you go travel** - 1-2 years minimum, more for high-acuity units. See [how much experience you actually need](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/how-much-experience-do-you-need/) for the specialty-by-specialty breakdown, or the [full walkthrough on becoming a travel nurse](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/) if you're starting from scratch.\n\n\u003C!-- ANCHOR: a specific higher-paying specialty contract you landed because of a certification or experience most other applicants didn't have - what set you apart, and did you notice the pay difference in the offer itself? -->\n\n## Where do travel nurses get paid most?\n\nBy state, our data shows California, New Jersey, and Alaska at the top - not the states most nurses assume.\n\n| State | Avg weekly pay |\n|---|---|\n| California | $2,631 |\n| New Jersey | $2,592 |\n| Alaska | $2,570 |\n| New York | $2,528 |\n| Rhode Island | $2,493 |\n| Massachusetts | $2,479 |\n| Oregon | $2,462 |\n\n*Average weekly pay on travel RN contracts, standardized to 36 hours, across every package we've tracked since September 2019.*\n\nNew Jersey and Alaska outranking Massachusetts genuinely surprises most nurses when I show them this. It's not cost-of-living-adjusted pay, it's straight gross weekly rate - and Alaska in particular carries a real geographic and staffing-shortage premium, because far fewer nurses are willing to relocate that far.\n\nThat's the catch with \"highest paying state\" rankings: gross pay isn't the same as what you keep. \n\nCalifornia's rate looks great until you're paying California state income tax and California rent. \n\nTexas and Florida pay less on paper but you keep more of it, since neither state charges income tax. For [the tax rules behind your take-home pay](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/travel-nurse-taxes/) - including how you file when you work assignments in more than one state - see our full travel nurse taxes guide.\n\n\u003C!-- ANCHOR: a contract where the big weekly number didn't survive the location - which state or city, what the gross rate was, and what actually ate it (rent, state income tax, parking, the commute). Or the reverse: a lower-headline contract somewhere cheap where you kept more of it. Either version makes the gross-vs-take-home point land. -->\n\n### Why pay varies this much by state\n\n- **Nurse-to-patient ratio laws** - California's mandated ratios drive facility demand and pay up\n- **Facility and regional shortages** - Alaska and the Dakotas have genuinely thin local nursing pools\n- **Cost of living and state taxes** - the highest gross pay states often net out lower than they look\n- **Contract urgency** - a facility in crisis will pay above the local average regardless of state\n\n## Understanding travel nurse pay packages\n\nYour weekly rate isn't one number, it's a package. Most nurses evaluate a contract on the headline weekly total and skip past what's actually in it.\n\n- **Base hourly rate** - taxable, this is what shows up on your W-2\n- **Housing stipend** - tax-free if you maintain a qualifying tax home, typically $1,500-$3,000/month depending on location. A contract offers this or [agency-provided housing](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/housing/), never both\n- **Meals & incidentals (M&IE) per diem** - tax-free, covers food and daily expenses\n- **Travel reimbursement** - often a one-time payment, not guaranteed on every contract\n- **Overtime and holiday rates** - verify these before signing, they vary widely by agency\n\nThe hourly base always looks low next to a staff job, because a big chunk of your pay is sitting in the tax-free stipends instead.\n\n[Here's a full package split into its parts](/travel-nurse-salary/travel-nurse-pay-breakdown/) - what the hospital bills, what the agency keeps, and what reaches you.\n\n## Can you make 6 figures as a travel nurse?\n\nYes, and it's not even the upper limit. At the $2,180/week average across all RN specialties, a full year of continuous contracts works out to roughly $113,379. Stack that on a top-tier specialty like CVOR or Cath Lab and you're closer to $132,000-$139,000 for the same year.\n\n### Can you make $200,000 as a nurse?\n\nIt's possible, but it's not the typical travel nurse experience - it takes a specific combination. CRNA contracts alone can clear $200,000 on far less than a full year of work, given the $5,814/week average. \n\nFor RN-scope specialties, hitting $200K generally means stacking a high-paying specialty, a high-paying state, minimal gaps between contracts, and regular overtime at a good rate. Standard ICU or ED pay lands you well short of that on its own.\n\n### Can travel nurses make $10K a week?\n\nOn a standard RN contract, no - [that market has cooled](/travel-nurse-salary/how-much-do-travel-nurses-make/). In advanced-practice roles, yes.\n\nCRNA pay alone averages $5,814/week with a wide spread - the standard deviation on that figure is over $1,600, meaning plenty of individual CRNA contracts land well north of $7,000-8,000/week, and outliers do clear $10K.\n\nFor RN-scope roles, [crisis and rapid-response contracts have historically topped out near $3,700/week](https://www.vivian.com/nursing/rapid-response/local-contract/salary/), with occasional spikes higher during acute staffing surges. The $8,000-10,000/week numbers you'll still see floating around online for RN contracts are mostly outdated pandemic-era peaks.\n\n\u003C!-- ANCHOR: a specific contract offer you saw or took that surprised you on the high end - what specialty, what made the rate so much higher than a typical contract at the time -->\n\n\u003Ccta heading=\"Put the strategy to work right now\" subtitle=\"Find the highest-paying open contracts across every agency in one search - no scrolling through stale listings.\">\u003C/cta>\n\n## How to actually land the highest paying travel nursing jobs\n\nProper preparation is actually the biggest step to take towards landing the best jobs and it's the part all the \"highest paying jobs\" lists skip over.\n\nYou've gotta know the numbers and have your ducks in a row. 🐥🐥\n\nIf you know what to expect you can recognize and land the best offers faster.\n\n### Research travel nursing and get your requirements ready\n\nBefore you talk to a single agency, do 2 things: learn how travel nursing actually works, and get your paperwork together.\n\n[Compliance and credentialing is one of the biggest burdens travel nurses take on](https://blog.bluepipes.com/managing-your-compliance-documents/), and a recruiter can only move as fast as you can hand things over.\n\nFrom talking with hundreds of agencies, I've found **the highest-paying jobs in the most in-demand specialties usually fill within 48 hours. Being ready is the whole competition.**\n\nSo build your credentialing folder before you make contact, and keep it somewhere you can send a recruiter anything they ask for in 30 seconds - even at 9 PM on a Friday. The [full travel nurse requirements guide](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/requirements/) lists every document by specialty.\n\nThe requirement that never makes a checklist is cash in the bank. An [emergency fund](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/why-you-need-an-emergency-fund/) is what lets you hold out for a great contract instead of signing a mediocre one because rent is due.\n\nThe research half tells you what a good deal looks like before someone is on the phone asking you to commit to one.\n\nThe information sits on the agency's side by design - what the facility bills, how much room is in the stipends, what the last nurse accepted. You close that gap by reading first.\n\n- [How travel nursing actually works](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/how-does-travel-nursing-work/) - the employer relationship, contract length, orientation\n- [How a pay package breaks down](/travel-nurse-salary/travel-nurse-pay-breakdown/) - so a single blended rate doesn't slide past you\n- [Independent travel nurse blogs and communities](/travel-nursing/travel-nurse-blogs/) - perspectives with no placement riding on your answer\n\nGive it a few weeks before you start reaching out. You'll spot the strong contracts faster, and you won't fall for any scams.\n\n### Use StellarNurse to find them\n\nDon't scroll job boards randomly. StellarNurse gives you god mode on the job market: every agency's best contracts in one view. \n\n[Find the highest paying travel nursing jobs](/travel-nursing-jobs/) by filtering on specialty, location, and contract length, and StellarNurse surfaces the top-earning, most current roles for that search by default - no scrolling, no sorting. \n\nYou also don't have to guess which agency pays best on a given contract. A facility hands the same job to several agencies, each one keeping a different cut, and every listing shows you which others are offering it with their rates alongside - so the gap is on screen before you've spoken to anyone. \n\nThat wide-view-then-zoom approach is the [full job-search method](/travel-nursing/): use the platform for the overview and leverage, then agencies to land the contract.\n\n**Before you reach out to a single agency:** Set up a [free burner phone number](/help/burner-phone-number/) and [private email.](/help/private-email/) The moment your real contact info hits an agency database for a high-paying specialty role, recruiters compete hard to reach you first, and the calls don't stop. \n\nIf they already have your number, [here's how to shut the spam down](/travel-nursing/how-to-stop-spam-calls-and-emails/). StellarNurse gives you a free private email on signup for exactly this reason.\n\n### Vet the agency before you apply\n\nNot every agency pays you the same compensation for the same job. Even if that 1 job starts from 1 single [bill rate](/travel-nurse-salary/travel-nurse-pay-breakdown/) from the hospital.\n\n[The full agency-vetting checklist](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/choosing-a-travel-nurse-agency/) covers what to check, but the short version: \n- Work with 2-5 agencies at once so you can compare what actually comes back for the same contract. \n- Interview each agency - that recruiter call is a two-way screen. [Ask your own questions](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/interview-questions/) about pay transparency, unit support, and what happens to you if a contract gets cancelled.\n- Get a full pay package breakdown for each job.\n\nFrom a job listing you can message several of them about it in 1 move, then judge them on what they send back - and on how long they take to send it.\n\n### Be flexible, especially on location\n\nFlexibility is the fastest way to raise the rate you can reach, and location is the biggest piece of it.\n\nThe top-paying contracts cluster where facilities are struggling to fill them, so the rate climbs until someone says yes.\n\nThe more of these you can move on, the better the numbers you'll see:\n\n- **Location** - expand your options so more of the market is open to you\n- **Start date** - a facility covering a gap next week pays for speed\n- **Agencies** - work with multiple to keep your options open, loyalty to 1 won't pay\n\nThen there's what you actually keep. A strong rate somewhere cheap to live beats a slightly higher rate somewhere expensive, and [a few states clear both bars at once](/travel-nurse-salary/#where-your-travel-nurse-salary-goes-furthest).\n\nStellarNurse has a cost of living filter for exactly this. Set it to low and the best-paying contracts in the cheapest places come back together.\n\nFlexible doesn't mean anywhere at any price, though. A well-paid contract 6 hours from anyone you know is still 6 hours from anyone you know - worth [planning for](/travel-nursing/travel-nurse-loneliness/), not discovering in week 3.\n\nInterestingly, shift doesn't affect pay sharply. Night contracts outnumber day roughly 2 to 1, so taking nights roughly doubles your job options. It won't raise your rate directly though - day and night medians sit within 1% of each other.\n\nSo keep your options open, and do consider nights if just to expand your opportunities. Keeping an open mind does pay in travel nursing.\n\n### Timing matters more than most nurses realize\n\n- **Winter contracts in northern states really do pay more** - across 2023-2025, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Maine all ran about 5% above their own summer rates, because fewer nurses will relocate somewhere cold. Florida runs the opposite way and pays better in summer. \n- **January is the peak month, not the holidays** - nationally, January averages about 5% above the rest of the year and February about 2%. November and December both sit slightly below average, so the money comes after the holidays, not during them.\n- **Start your search 4-8 weeks out** from your target start date for the best selection of open contracts\n- **Extensions often come with a pay bump** - agencies save on re-onboarding costs when you stay, and that savings is negotiable\n\n### Get submitted and prepare for the interview\n\nOnce your profile is complete, submission is the fast part - the agency can put you in front of the facility the same day. [Here's what to expect on the call and what to ask back](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/interview-questions/).\n\nThe rate on the offer isn't final either. [Negotiating your pay](/travel-nurse-salary/how-to-negotiate-travel-nurse-pay/) moves the number more than most nurses expect, especially on specialty contracts where the agency has room to work with.\n\n\u003C!-- ANCHOR: a specific high-paying specialty contract where you actually pushed back on the initial offer and got more - what specialty/agency archetype, roughly how much the rate moved, what you said that worked -->\n\nThen double check the deal is as good as the number makes it look. A top weekly rate means a lot less if the hours aren't guaranteed or the facility can cancel you in your second week.\n\nRun it against the [travel nurse contract checklist](/how-to-become-a-travel-nurse/travel-nurse-contract-checklist/):\n\n- Guaranteed hours, and what happens when the census drops\n- Cancellation terms, on both sides\n- The overtime rate, in writing\n- The red flags that don't show up in the pay package\n\nAsk every one of these before you sign. A great contract survives the questions.\n\n## Bottom line\n\nCVOR and Cath Lab lead the standard RN specialties, CRNA is in a category of its own, and gross pay by state doesn't always mean better take-home. But the pay data only matters if you can actually land the contract - get your requirements ready, and work multiple agencies at once.\n\n[Find the highest paying travel nursing jobs on StellarNurse](/travel-nursing-jobs/) to see what's live right now, or read the [complete travel nurse salary guide](/travel-nurse-salary/) for the full picture beyond just the top earners.
