Travel OB/GYN Nurse Pay

The median advertised pay for a travel OB/GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) contract is $2,684 per week. The middle half of contracts fall between $2,438 and $3,109. Measured across 12 active travel contracts at 10 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 OB/GYN nurse make?
The median advertised pay for a travel OB/GYN contract is $2,684 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,438 and $3,109. Measured across 12 active travel contracts at 10 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 OB/GYN 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.
