Hi all, I'm planning on moving to Philly as a travel nurse sometime in the early spring. I have a BSN and 2 yrs ED experience in a Level 2 Trauma Center. I'm trying to get a ballpark idea of what I can expect for pay for the area. I know that most places pay based on experience and certifications. I also have BLS, ACLS, PALS, and TNCC. I'm not looking for an exact figure, just a ballpark to know what I'm getting into. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Ive known several people who have worked strikes in Philly making $70/HR and others who have worked regular assignments making $40-45/hr. The things you need to keep in mind are EXPENSIVE housing and 0 parking.. Dont be afraid with taking a low hourly and high PerDiem rate.
