Travel Home Health Nurse Pay

The median advertised pay for a travel Home Health contract is $2,668 per week. The middle half of contracts fall between $2,469 and $2,787. Measured across 12 active travel contracts at 12 facilities, as of 2026-10-31.

These are advertised weekly totals before tax, usually including tax-free housing and meal stipends; for almost all postings the figure is the top of an advertised range. They are not take-home, and the tax-free part depends on maintaining a tax home. How to read a pay package explains the split.

Common questions

How much does a travel Home Health nurse make?
The median advertised pay for a travel Home Health contract is $2,668 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,469 and $2,787. Measured across 12 active travel contracts at 12 facilities, as of 2026-10-31. These are advertised weekly totals before tax, usually including tax-free stipends; for almost all postings the figure is the top of an advertised range. Not take-home.
Where does this Home Health 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.
