Whether you’re looking for an adventure in a different state or want to find the most lucrative contracts, Medely can help you find a travel assignment that works for you and your goals.

Finding the best travel rates

Travel assignments are still in demand, and depending on location and position, rates are still typically higher than a staff nurse or allied health professional in a similar position. 

But if you’re trying to maximize your money this year as a travel nurse or health professional, Medely can help you find the most in-demand locations for your specialty so you can earn premium pay on your travel assignment. 

To get the highest-paying travel assignment data, we identified our top 10 most booked positions and found the top five locations for each position based on most assignments booked in those states. We then pulled the highest-paying travel assignments for each of those states. 

If you’re looking for travel contracts with the highest weekly pay, keep an eye on these locations.
