Common questions

How much does a travel Wound Care nurse make?
The median advertised pay for a travel Wound Care contract is $2,491 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,220 and $2,832. Measured across 10 active travel contracts at 10 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this Wound Care 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.
