Left $26/hr as an RN at MidCoast last year to travel. Now making $66/hr plus $4,300/month in untaxed stipends.

Go get a travel contract.

Is your current contract in Maine/do you mind saying where?

Currently in NC, but there are options all over. If you want to stay closer to home, a quick search just now found an open position in Derry, NH for $13k/month.

Everyone who has been traveling for a while knows the dynamic between pay, bill rates, stipends, etc. Yes, the agency is keeping 25-45% of what the hospital is paying them. Yes, I’m making more than 3x what I was making as staff. That’s called a win-win.
