- Do I need a Massachusetts license to work in Boston?
- Massachusetts has enacted the Nurse Licensure Compact but has not implemented it, so a multistate license does not cover you here yet. You need a Massachusetts license.

- They are listed here with what their pages hold: the facility, cost of living, housing nearby and what travel nurses have said about working there. Postings appear the hour they reach the board.
- Does Massachusetts tax travel nurse pay?
- Massachusetts 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 Boston, MA?
- 13 weeks is the median length of the open postings at hospitals in Boston, MA on the CircleRN board. Extensions are agreed with the agency and the facility once you are there and are not counted here.
