As a travel nurse agency, we often talk a lot about weekly gross income – which is a combination of the hourly rate plus the weekly travel stipend. But it may have crossed your mind: what is the annual income of a travel nurse? Sure – you can google it and what you’ll find is the average annual salary of a travel nurse in the United States is $99,202.
But what about nurses that work for Next Move? How much do they make annually? We spoke to 3 of our nurses* who have worked multiple contracts with us over the past 2-years. Below we give you an outline of how much they earned in the last 12-months, what kind of hours they worked, how much time they took off, their travel nursing experience and what goals they were looking to meet.
*Names were changed to protect the privacy of our nurses.
