How much does a travel nurse earn compared to an RN that takes a permanent position?

Cleme asked:


I am finishing up my bachelors degree and have been considering going on to be an RN. I have heard that being a travel nurse pays a great deal more in addition to covering housing costs. I am not even sure how much a nurse typically makes, but I would appreciate to hear about salaries and how the two compare. Thanks so much!
