120-day market evidence
California NICU pay history
This 120-day view covers May 5, 2026–September 1, 2026 and uses every valid advertised maximum weekly pay sample in the statewide NICU market, not only postings at or above $3,000.
Complete statewide overview
98 unique closed postings
120 reported openings from 98 of 98 postings
23 of 98 valid-pay postings
23% at or above $3,000
43 named facilities observed
6 agencies observed
Observed July 23, 2026–August 31, 2026 and grouped by job close date.
Typical advertised maximum weekly pay (median) decreased by $56/week, or 2.1%, from July 2026 to August 2026.
The median is the primary trend measure because it is less sensitive to unusually high or low advertisements. Average appears as supporting context in the table. The calculation includes all valid reported pay samples, including amounts below $3,000.
Weekly pay movement
Where median weekly pay moved
Every month uses the same advertised weekly pay scale. The pink marker shows the median, and the black line shows the observed minimum-to-maximum range.

What is Mullet?
Business in the front. Party in the job hunt.
Mullet helps nurses compare live NICU jobs, facilities hiring across California, and agencies shown on those current postings.
If you want the plain-English version of how Mullet works, what we track, and what happens when you share your info, the FAQ has it.
“Travel nursing already feels like online dating. We just removed the catfishing.”

Methodology
How this California NICU highest-pay page is updated
Mullet refreshes current postings throughout the day and qualifies the premium tier from advertised maximum weekly pay. Direct-access labels use agency, facility, and source evidence conservatively; they do not guarantee placement or availability.
- Directness
- “Direct” means Mullet has evidence of an agency relationship to the posting or facility. It does not guarantee placement, availability, or acceptance.
- Maximum advertised pay
- The premium tier uses the reported maximum weekly amount, not a promised offer. Actual packages can depend on experience, shift, start date, and other terms.
- Scheduled hours
- Hours are shown as reported. The premium tier uses the reported weekly total without normalization. When hours are known, Mullet also shows a proportional 40-hour equivalent, rounded to the nearest $5, for comparison only; it is not an alternate offer or package.
- Unique postings and reported openings
- A posting is one unique job advertisement. An advertisement can report more than one opening, so openings are counted separately when reported.
- Rolling history and partial months
- History covers the rolling 120-day window. Boundary months can be partial and remain visible in the table, but they do not drive the primary month-over-month trend.
- Median, average, and evidence state
- Median is the primary typical-pay measure; average is supporting context. Complete evidence can support totals, incomplete evidence withholds partial totals, and unavailable evidence is never presented as zero.
Questions nurses ask first
California highest-paying NICU jobs FAQ
Does $3,000+/week mean every NICU job pays that amount?
No. When current evidence is complete, the first tier contains postings whose reported maximum reaches the threshold. The second tier then includes every remaining same-specialty posting, including lower and unreported pay.
Why use the median for the monthly trend?
The median describes the middle valid advertised maximum and is less affected by unusually high or low values. The table keeps the average visible as supporting context.
What happens when a source is incomplete?
Mullet labels the source state and withholds partial totals. Missing or incomplete evidence is not described as an empty job market.
