ER RN contract pay — advertised weekly rates

Median $2,124 a week across 22,222 live ER RN listings with posted pay, as of September 16, 2026 — −3.2% against the all-specialty national median of $2,194.

What these figures are

Advertised contract rates, not earned wages. Every number on this page comes from a live RN listing for ER that posted a rate — 22,222 of them as of September 16, 2026. 95% 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 245 listings for ER 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.
