The median advertised pay for a travel LTC/SNF (long-term care and skilled nursing) contract is $2,002 per week. The middle half of contracts fall between $1,624 and $2,213. Measured across 36 active travel contracts at 20 facilities, as of 2026-09-15.
These are advertised weekly totals, a taxable hourly base plus tax-free housing and meal stipends. They are not take-home, and the tax-free half depends on maintaining a tax home. How to read a pay package explains the split.
