The 25 states with the most open Telemetry contracts, of 38 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
Telemetry contracts, are Virginia at $2,737, Rhode Island at $2,699 and Washington at $2,624. 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 $2,398 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,150 and $2,624. Measured across 293 active travel contracts at 155 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 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?
- Virginia at $2,737, Rhode Island at $2,699 and Washington at $2,624, by median advertised weekly pay. Only states carrying at least 5 open Telemetry 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.
