Top 10 Highest-Paying Travel Healthcare Jobs May 21-26

Alexis WillMay 21, 20190 Views0

As spring storms are sweeping the country, travel nursing and allied health positions are moving just as fast.

It’s no surprise that California tops this week’s list of top 10 highest-paying travel healthcare jobs as it is always a popular market for travelers. We’ve even seen an increase in pay with contracts offering up to $3,400 weekly and beyond.

A newcomer to the list for this week is Alabama, where state Governor Kay Ivey recently signed the Alabama Compact Nursing License Bill. While the Alabama Board of Nursing set a target date to issue compact nursing licenses by January 2020, facilities have several travel RN and healthcare technician needs now, many with ASAP start dates.

RN and allied openings in Virginia, Illinois and Maine remain steady leading up to the summer months. We also found a rare opportunity for Travel Physical Therapist in Texas paying more than $2,500 per week.

To help overcome the somewhat slower season, healthcare travelers can benefit from these high-paying opportunities.
