Travel Nursing in Nevada

Nevada is one of the most financially attractive states for travel nurses because it levies no state income tax. On a typical $26/hr taxable + $1,600/week stipend package, this saves nurses roughly $50–$150/week compared to moderate-tax states and $150–$400/week compared to high-tax states like California or Oregon.

Remember that tax-free stipends are not subject to state income tax, regardless of which state you work in. A large housing stipend in Nevada produces the same tax-free income as anywhere else — the state tax only applies to your hourly wages.

What to watch out for in Nevada

  • Always verify your tax home qualifies under IRS rules before accepting tax-free stipends
  • Nevada's lack of state income tax is permanent as of 2026 — no risk of change in the near term
  • Compare total contract net income, not just weekly gross, when evaluating offers
