DATA METHOD
Source
Based on 80 active postings with listed compensation for Gi Lab Nurse. We prioritize postings with explicit hourly or annual pay and exclude rows without usable compensation signals from salary percentiles.

Freshness
Current dataset window: 2025-11-01 to 2026-04-30. Recent trend cards compare the latest posting window with the prior period so short-term pay movement is separated from the full historical median.
