Travel nurses' pay, state by state

The average weekly travel nurse pay in November in the U.S. was $3,204, down 16.32 percent from $3,829 during the same month in 2021, according to a report from Vivian Health, a national healthcare hiring marketplace.    

While this is among the largest year-over-year decreases Vivian Health has seen in 2022, travel pay rates increased from October to November in many states.

Vivian Health told Becker's that the 'tridemic' is a likely contributor to the growth.

"As states begin to grapple with increased infections and hospitalizations of RSV, flu and COVID cases, travel pay has increased alongside increased case rates," the healthcare hiring marketplace said.

As of Dec. 7, there were 850,468 active travel nurse jobs on the Vivian Health platform nationwide in the last 90 days.
