Median $2,194 a week across 155,180 live RN listings with posted pay, as of September 16, 2026. Advertised contract rates from employer and agency feeds, recomputed every six hours — a real-time complement to BLS wage data, not a replacement for it.

What these figures are

Advertised contract rates, not earned wages. Every number on this page comes from a live RN listing on this site that posted a rate — 155,180 of them as of September 16, 2026. 94% are travel contracts, so the figures describe what agencies and employers are offering for contract work this week, usually including housing and meal stipends — not staff salaries and not what any nurse took home. A further 4,940 listings on this site post no rate and are excluded. Weekly figures use the top of each advertised range; hourly equivalents divide by the posted hours where a listing gives them. These figures are complementary to BLS wage data, which reports earned staff wages annually — they are not a substitute for it. Full methodology.
