Advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends. Not take-home. With only 5 open contracts in Ohio, 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 $2,060 national median for travel LTAC contracts.

Ohio 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.

Ohio has the 35th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 7 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 27 percent under, while goods sit 6 percent under and services 1 percent under. 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.

LTAC pay by metro in Ohio

MetroOpen contractsMedian weeklyRent, 1 bed
Canton2$1,888$735/mo
Middleburg Heights2$1,806—
Cleveland1$1,860$860/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 LTAC nurse make in Ohio?
The median advertised pay for a travel LTAC contract in Ohio is $1,860 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $1,806 and $1,888. Measured across 5 active travel LTAC contracts in Ohio at 3 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this LTAC 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.
