• Pay Will Vary

Pay Will Vary

Unfortunately, if you sign up to be a travel nurse, you shouldn't expect a steady paycheck. Aya goes into more detail on the website, but ultimately your decisions will affect how much money goes into your pocket.

Aya explains that if you're looking to optimize your pay, it's best to choose specialties that are in high demand.

Also, where you choose to work will affect your income. For example, a travel Labor and Delivery nurse in California will most likely make more than a PCU nurse in Iowa.
