In Part I of Saving Florence Nightingale, I mentioned the unprecedented times and opportunities facing traveling nurses during the Corona pandemic. Most of the demand has occurred in places deeply affected by the pandemic like New York City, Boston, and Detroit. These circumstances have created a great financial opportunity for traveling nurses. At the beginning of the pandemic, New York City was offering to pay nurses ten thousand dollars per week with free boarding. Nationally the weekly pay for traveling nurses has doubled to approximately $4,000 per week or $16,000 per month or $192,000 per year.
