Labor and delivery RN salary information
On average, permanent contract labor and delivery RNs in the US earn around $82,000 per year but your actual take-home depends on the type of role you choose, your experience, location, and the facility you work at.
Travel L&D RN contracts are where earning potential really climbs. The average weekly pay for a travel labor and delivery nurse is around $2,388, roughly 10% above the general travel nursing average. Most assignments run 13 weeks, and packages typically include housing stipends or company-arranged accommodation, travel reimbursement, and benefits from day one. L&D travel nurses can earn up to $3,500 per week on high-demand assignments, particularly in states with acute staffing shortages. If you have flexibility in where and when you work, travel nursing is one of the most effective ways to maximize your income as an L&D RN.
Per diem offers the ultimate scheduling flexibility. You pick up shifts when it suits you, and get paid a premium hourly rate in return. Per diem RN rates for specialist roles like labor and delivery typically range between $40 and $80 per hour, with higher rates in major metro areas.
At Favorite, we place L&D nurses across permanent, travel, and per diem roles nationwide, so there's a path to fit every lifestyle and career goal.
Labor and delivery RN jobs FAQs
Are labor and delivery RNs in demand?
Yes, L&D RNs continue to be in high demand in the US due to the consistent increase in birth rates and an aging nursing workforce. This means L&D nurses can feel confident in finding opportunities that match their skills and goals.
Can I apply for multiple labor and delivery RN jobs at once?
Yes, you can apply to as many L&D RN jobs as you’d like with Favorite. After you’ve applied to the roles you’re interested in, a recruiter will reach out and discuss your options with you.
Can new graduates apply with Favorite?
Yes, new graduates can apply with Favorite. Many facilities require you to have at least one year of experience to work with them, but we partner with organizations that specifically request labor and delivery RNs who have recently graduated.
How will I know the status of my application?
To know the status of your application, you can call the recruiter you’ve been in contact with, or you can call our national service center at 1-888-427-7019.
How will I get paid when working with Favorite?
Favorite will pay you on a weekly cadence, unless the facility you work at chooses to pay on a bi-weekly occurrence. You’ll either get paid through direct deposit or paper checks depending on your preferences.
Do I need a compact nursing license for travel L&D RN jobs?
A Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) license lets you practice across 42+ member states without obtaining separate state licenses, which can significantly speed up placement on travel contracts. If you don't hold a compact license, your Favorite recruiter can guide you through the state licensure process for your target assignment location.
