We start from the national median for travel nurse (rn)s ($117,400) and apply Massachusetts's RN wage index — its statewide RN mean pay relative to the national RN mean — to estimate a state-adjusted figure. This is a modeled estimate, not role-specific state data from BLS, which doesn't publish every role at the state level.
