  1. \n

    Stanford, California<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to the online job board<\/span> Zip Recruiter<\/span><\/a>, the highest paying travel nursing jobs currently are at Stanford.\u00a0 This is the area where Stanford University is. Travel nurses in this California city make $53.24 per hour, which is $110,735 per year.\u00a0 This is well above the median income of Stanford, which is $60,357. This comparison may be slightly dramatized, as it is a college town with a median age of 22, but this travel nursing salary is without a doubt the best available in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Stanford is a great place for a travel nursing assignment if you are looking for some California weather.\u00a0 The temperature at Stanford is moderate all year long. The city is only about an hour\u2019s drive south of San Francisco, making the Bay Area a perfect place to explore on your days off.<\/span><\/p>\n

      New York, New York<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      People in all types of business talk about going to New York City to make it big and travel nursing is no different.\u00a0 Travel nurses in the Big Apple make around $49.29 per hour, which adds up to an annual salary of $102,523. While the cost of living in the city is high, this pay is more than enough to cover it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      New York is a popular travel nursing destination because of its pay, demand, and hospitals.\u00a0 It is also a popular travel destination in general. Take advantage of your placement in NYC by doing all the tourist things \u2013 seeing the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, going to a Broadway show, visiting Times Square, and more.\u00a0 You will never be bored on your days off in the city that never sleeps.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Seattle, Washington<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The city with the third-highest paying travel nursing jobs is Seattle.\u00a0 Travel nurses make $48.90 per hour or $101,718 per year. While not as extreme as New York City, the cost of living in Seattle is fairly high.\u00a0 Again, this travel nursing salary along with the benefits of the job more than makes up for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Seattle is sort of up and coming with large tech industries like Microsoft and Amazon housing their headquarters there.\u00a0 There are also many tourist attractions like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market. Seattle is unique because although it is a city, it is surrounded by water and forests.\u00a0 All of these places would be fun to explore when you don\u2019t have to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

        So how do you get placed in one of these cities?\u00a0 The best way to get a great travel nursing assignment is to gain a lot of experience.\u00a0 The more time you have spent nursing, specifically travel nursing, the more likely you will qualify for a role.\u00a0 You can also talk with your recruiter at your travel nursing agency about bonus assignments and other high paying positions that you can apply for.<\/span><\/p>\n
