The full answer
Pay in remote healthcare tracks two things: how much liability you carry and how many licenses you hold. A telehealth NP licensed in twelve states is worth far more to a national provider than one licensed in a single state, because they can staff more of the country from one hire.
The Nurse Licensure Compact is the cheapest raise available to a US-based RN. One compact license lets you practise in dozens of states, and many remote employers filter their applicant pool on that single field before a human ever reads a résumé.
Outside the US, remote healthcare pay is lower in absolute terms but often higher after tax and cost of living — Gulf contracts in particular are tax-free with housing included.
