Advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends. Not take-home. With only 6 open contracts in Florida, treat that median as an indication rather than a rate: the contracts below are the useful part of this page.
That is 10 percent under the $2,873 national median for travel Cath Lab contracts.
Florida is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an active multistate license covers you here. A single-state license from elsewhere does not. The compact state list explains which states issue one.

| $2,500 to $2,600 | 1 |
| $2,600 to $2,700 | 2 |

Florida has the 11th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 3 percent over the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 22 percent over, while goods sit 2 percent under and services 1 percent over. That matters more than the headline number, because housing is the part a tax-free stipend is meant to cover and the rest comes out of taxed wages.

Rent is the one-bedroom Fair Market Rent HUD publishes for that metro, which is what a housing stipend is trying to cover. The open-contract count beside each metro is the sample its median rests on, and outside the largest markets that sample is small: a median over one or two contracts is a single posting's rate rather than a market rate, so read the count first.
