Through a combination of comprehensive data points (such as top paying travel nursing jobs) and some anecdotal evidence, we’ve listed below the most popular travel nursing destinations in the United States for 2020 thus far (and likely similar for 2021)!
Many of these cities are flocked to for their competitive travel nursing pay packages, while others for the culture, social ambience, or even beaches and natural beauty (and maybe all of these reasons!). Assignments can range from 4 to 13 weeks depending on the needs of the facility or travel nursing agency.
Below are the most popular cities for travel nursing to work in throughout 2020 thus far, along with the average weekly pay travel nurses working in these cities receive.

If you're just starting to think about travel nursing, we highly recommend you read this Travel Nursing Guide. It covers everything from how to become a travel nurse to how to maximize your pay.
Without further ado…
While the above cities earned their place largely thanks to their greater than average compensation packages, the following cities present strong ties between popularity and overall cost effectiveness, especially in terms of cost of living (and so shouldn’t be ignored!).
