Questions
- Why do agencies offer different pay for the same travel nurse job?
- The hospital pays every agency roughly the same bill rate; each agency decides how much of it to keep as margin and how to split the rest between taxable pay and stipends. That's why the same contract can be quoted hundreds of dollars a week apart.
- Should I take the highest weekly offer?
- Not always. A higher taxable rate pays more for overtime, holidays and missed-shift guarantees, and an agency that cancels or cuts rates often can cost more than a small weekly difference. Compare the gross, the taxable rate and the agency's record together.
