Salary & Benefits
Travel nursing pay, salary & bonuses
Trustaff's healthcare travelers are some of the best compensated in the industry. When you take your skills and experience on the road, not only do you get to expand your knowledge and see the country, you can earn as much as 40% more than staff positions in the same area.
Traveling nurses and other types of healthcare professionals, like allied travelers, typically earn far more than a staff position. Your individual salary or pay will vary by your specialty, certifications, and experience, as well as the location where you take your assignment.
Your pay—you’re in control
Whether you have a location in mind or you just want to find a high-paying travel nursing job to pad your piggy bank, one of the best parts of traveling is the flexibility to choose the assignments (and pay) that suit you best.
Your recruiter will negotiate the best compensation package possible, while still ensuring you have the amenities you need. Whatever your priorities, we offer flexible solutions to ensure you're satisfied with your paycheck.

Make the most of your salary as a travel nurse
When you work for Trustaff as a travel nurse, you make your living away from the comforts of home. You have two residences to maintain when you travel: your home-away-from-home, where you rest your head after a long shift, and the home where you reside when you're not on the road. The Internal Revenue Service calls your ‘home’ your permanent tax residence.
It can be very costly to maintain two homes while traveling; the IRS recognized this dilemma and created a special plan to assist traveling professionals. People who work away from their tax homes are allowed under special IRS-provided rules to receive reimbursements—in specific amounts that do not exceed government rates—without paying taxes on those reimbursements.
You can be paid tax-free rates if you qualify under the rules outlined by the IRS, which we call our expense reimbursement plan. If you qualify, you are eligible for an overall increase to your weekly "take home" pay. Some restrictions do apply, so be sure to talk to your recruiter for full details about how the expense reimbursement plan works.
Boost your allied health salary with great bonuses
Not only are our travelers well paid, you can also boost your salary with a variety of bonuses. The type, amount, and availability of each bonus depends on your current assignment, so be sure to ask your recruiter when you’re selecting your next location!
If you have a friend, coworker or a family member who wants to learn more about becoming a travelers, send them our way. We love when you recommend Trustaff, and we'll pay a referral bonus for your effort.
