The TravelNursing.org citation is accurate, but it’s important to note that pay packages will largely depend on location and specialty. Cost of living will vary, so just be cognizant of that when negotiating your compensation package.

For seasoned travel nurses, they know how to get the most out of their compensation package by way of per diems and cheap housing options. The decision will vary based on the nurse.
