Common questions

How much does a travel Oncology nurse make in District of Columbia?
The median advertised pay for a travel Oncology contract in District of Columbia is $2,497 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,354 and $2,497. Measured across 3 active travel Oncology contracts in District of Columbia at 2 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this Oncology 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.
