What these figures are
Advertised contract rates, not earned wages. Every number on this page comes from a live RN listing for Home Health that posted a rate — 1,682 of them as of October 31, 2026. 87% 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 314 listings for Home Health 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.
