What affects telemetry nurse pay in Montana
Pay below the national median. For a telemetry nurse specifically, pay is shaped by the metro labor market, hospital vs clinic vs long-term-care setting, union presence, shift differentials, unit acuity, and years of experience. Certifications and a move into charge or advanced-practice roles raise pay further. Use the calculator to estimate your own.
How this estimate was calculated
The Montana figure adjusts the national RN average of $96,410 for local pay levels — a factor of 0.92× (about 8% below the U.S. average). It is a starting point — not an official Montana wage — until verified local figures and nurse submissions are loaded.
Local pay can vary well beyond this by specialty, shift, union status, employer type, overtime, and care setting. When official state wage data is loaded, this number updates to a verified value automatically.
