Common questions
- Is Iowa a compact state?
- Iowa is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an active multistate license covers you here. A single-state license from elsewhere does not.
- Does Iowa tax travel nurse pay?
- Iowa taxes wage income, so the taxable base of a package is taxed at the state level as well as federally. Stipends are not wages; what counts as a stipend depends on your tax home.
- How long are travel assignments in Iowa?
- 13 weeks is the median length of the open postings at hospitals in Iowa on the CircleRN board. Extensions are agreed with the agency and the facility once you are there and are not counted here.
- Which specialties have the most openings in Iowa?
- By openings at hospitals in Iowa right now: Med-Surg (49), ICU (31), L&D (18). Counts are refreshed hourly from the board and change daily.
- Where do the pay figures on this page come from?
- Every pay figure is an advertised weekly rate on a current posting at a hospital in Iowa, refreshed hourly from the board; a median is the middle posting, not a contract CircleRN has filled.
