Travel Nurse Salary in Cleveland, OH
Low housing costs help Cleveland travel nurse salary stretch further, even in a major medical market. Use live salary data from travel RN jobs to compare specialties and weekly pay, then factor in Ohio and local taxes plus what may remain after rent across the city.
Cleveland's open specialty list
Cleveland's depth as a medical market keeps a wide spread of specialties posting at once, from general inpatient floors to the procedural and cardiac lines the metro is known for. What pays best tracks the unit, not the name over the door. Filter by specialty for live Cleveland rates.
What's in a Cleveland weekly rate
In Cleveland, low rent is what lets the weekly rate work harder than the headline suggests. A two-bedroom near $1,268 runs about 21% below the national norm, so rent leaves the stipend largely intact. A standard base and meal stipend complete the package, but in Cleveland it is cheap rent that lifts take-home, with one caveat below on local tax.
Net pay in Cleveland after rent and local tax
Cleveland's referral caseload runs far past its metro size, so postings recur steadily. The cost math is the draw: living costs run low and rent about 21% below the national average, a two-bedroom near $1,268, so a solid rate stretches well once housing is paid.
Ohio's taxes need a closer look than most. The state income tax is a low flat 2.75%, but many Ohio cities add a local municipal income tax, so the rate depends on the city you work and live in, and it is worth checking before you sign. Endorsement adds about four to six weeks and around $75 for single-state nurses, but a multistate license clears a Cleveland assignment the day it is offered, since Ohio sits in the compact. The Ohio RN licensing guide walks through the steps.
