The 25 states with the most open Pediatrics contracts, of 27 with any. Pay varies by market, facility and shift, and a state with few contracts moves more than one with many, so treat a median drawn from a handful of postings as an indication rather than a rate.

The highest medians, among states carrying at least 5 open Pediatrics contracts, are Virginia at $2,381 and Florida at $2,101. The table above is ordered by how many contracts are open, not by pay.

Common questions

How much does a travel Pediatrics nurse make?
The median advertised pay for a travel Pediatrics contract is $2,321 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,123 and $2,513. Measured across 59 active travel contracts at 46 facilities, as of 2026-10-30. 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 Pediatrics 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.
Which states pay travel Pediatrics nurses the most?
Virginia at $2,381 and Florida at $2,101, by median advertised weekly pay. Only states carrying at least 5 open Pediatrics contracts are ranked, because a median drawn from a handful of postings moves on one contract closing. These are advertised weekly totals before tax, usually including tax-free stipends and for almost all postings the top of an advertised range, not take-home, and a higher median does not survive a higher cost of living on its own.
