The median advertised pay for a travel LTC/SNF (long-term care and skilled nursing) contract is $2,050 per week. The middle half of contracts fall between $1,589 and $2,389. Measured across 25 active travel contracts at 13 facilities, as of 2026-10-30.
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.
