Cath Lab, IR & EP Wage Trends and Analysis

Welcome to the Phoenix Monthly Market Analysis for all travel jobs in Cardiac Cath Lab, Interventional Radiology and Electrophysiology! We’ll break down last month’s newest high-paying jobs with state-by-state analysis and nursing vs tech breakdowns.
Spring green emerges!
The map is looking a lot brighter!  April brought rates increasing almost everywhere.  While there are still some red spots in the South (Florida and Texas), we’ve seen some newer postings with higher rates as the warmer states update their rates to be competitive with what’s happening in the rest of country.  California has posted some very nice assignments (one even reaching $150 bill rate!) and Washington has a great flow of new jobs coming every week.  We’ve also seen our East Coast hotspots (Virginia, Maryland and DC) post some great jobs reaching $3500 a week.  The focus has shifted away from IR to Cath Lab in a reversal of what’s happened the last couple of years and EP orders are on the rise!
