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.

Common questions

How much does a travel CVICU nurse make in Minnesota?
The median advertised pay for a travel CVICU contract in Minnesota is $2,931 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,931 and $2,931. Measured across 2 active travel CVICU contracts in Minnesota at 1 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this CVICU 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.
