The 25 states with the most open Telemetry contracts, of 39 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 10 open Telemetry contracts, are Rhode Island at $2,466, Georgia at $2,437 and Illinois at $2,343. The table above is ordered by how many contracts are open, not by pay.

Common questions

How much does a travel Telemetry nurse make?
The median advertised pay for a travel Telemetry contract is $2,295 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,103 and $2,437. Measured across 236 active travel contracts at 128 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this Telemetry 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 Telemetry nurses the most?
Rhode Island at $2,466, Georgia at $2,437 and Illinois at $2,343, by median advertised weekly pay. Only states carrying at least 10 open Telemetry contracts are ranked, because a median drawn from a handful of postings moves on one contract closing. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home, and a higher median does not survive a higher cost of living on its own.
