Pay & contracts

See the number. Then see what is inside it.

A travel-nursing pay package is more than one weekly figure. These guides help you ask what each part means.

Read the package like it matters.

Housing stipends, taxable rates, reimbursements, cancellations, and assignment details can all change what a contract means in real life.

Compare written offers line by line. Ask what is guaranteed, what changes if a shift is canceled, and what you will pay yourself for housing, travel, licensing, and time between assignments.

Contract check
  • What is the taxable rate?
  • How are stipends structured?
  • What happens if the assignment changes?
  • Which reimbursements are included?

Know what to verify

Use current rules beside the contract.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s healthcare overtime fact sheet and IRS Publication 463 are useful starting points when overtime or temporary-assignment expenses affect your decision.
