Average Travel Nurse Housing Stipend. You receive a stipend and make your own housing arrangements. Topping the list is new york with new hampshire and wyoming close behind in second and third.
Last year a travel rn earned a gross average weekly salary of 1 716 per week working an average of 36 hours per week. You still have to remember that you may have to pay a substantial deposit to secure that housing whereas with letting your travel company arrange your housing they do that. The same agency tells you that if you don t want option 1 then they can provide housing that will cost 2200 per month.
We ve used both options depending on the assignment.
Wyoming beats the national average by 6 0 and new york furthers that trend with another 18 942 17 4 above the 99 202. This rule is often said to allow nurses to accept tax free stipends as part of their travel nursing pay as long as the assignment they re taking is 50 miles or more from their tax home. The gsa or government services administration oversees these pay rates for all counties in the united states. Taking the housing stipend can be advantageous not only for tax purposes but for financial gain as well.
