I know it varies a lot depending on location, but what is the range of the typical hourly wage for a traveling nurse??

Just curious.
Thanks

It varies depending on if you need health insurance, also some areas pay less such as Carolinas down thru Florida. I've seen such low rates in Florida of $19 per hour up to $29. Also some companies pay more than others.
Not sure how Specialty nurses make out.

I work ER, and usually make between $30-35/hour, PLUS free housing, free utilities, free medical/dental/life/malpractice insurance, travel reimbursement, and licensure reimbursement. I have worked in WI, FL, NC, IA, & Southern CA. Northern CA tends to pay the most.
