The median advertised pay for a travel Med-Surg (medical-surgical) contract in Georgia is $1,811 per week, with the middle half between $1,677 and $1,879. Measured across 4 active travel Med-Surg contracts in Georgia at 3 facilities, as of 2026-10-30.
Advertised weekly totals before tax, usually including tax-free stipends; for almost all postings the top of an advertised range. Not take-home. With only 4 open contracts in Georgia, treat that median as an indication rather than a rate: the contracts below are the useful part of this page.
That is 18 percent under the $2,219 national median for travel Med-Surg contracts.
Georgia 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, and the compact checker tells you whether yours covers you here.

Georgia has the 27th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 4 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 11 percent under, while goods sit 1 percent under and services 3 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.
| Metro | Open contracts | Median weekly | Rent, 1 bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Augusta | 2 | $1,811 | $975/mo |
| Cartersville | 1 | $1,888 | $1,265/mo |
| Stockbridge | 1 | $1,470 | $1,570/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.
