Minnesota has the 22th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 1 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 9 percent under, while goods sit 1 percent over and services 0 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.

Cath Lab pay by metro in Minnesota

MetroOpen contractsMedian weeklyRent, 1 bed
Coon Rapids2$3,165$1,505/mo
Minneapolis2$3,293$1,350/mo

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.

Common questions

How much does a travel Cath Lab nurse make in Minnesota?
The median advertised pay for a travel Cath Lab contract in Minnesota is $3,229 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $3,166 and $3,291. Measured across 4 active travel Cath Lab contracts in Minnesota at 2 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this Cath Lab pay figure come from?
From the travel contracts currently posted on CircleRN, not from an industry survey or an estimate. No federal source publishes pay by nursing specialty: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports registered nurses as a single occupation, so there is no official median for an ICU or a labor and delivery nurse. We publish the median rather than the average because one crisis-rate assignment moves an average enough to misrepresent the market.
