9 States with NO INCOME TAX for NURSES in 2023 

You just listed our primary reasons for moving from NYC to Sacramento instead of Houston. Spot on 👍.

I currently live in Houston and want to move to Elk Grove Cali, I wanted to know if the hospitals take prior Lvn experience in consideration for RNs.

You're so welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Houston Methodist hospital has a whole immigration department. Check it out. There are travel agencies that help nurses get papers and jobs in the USA

My pleasure!

You're welcome 🙏🏼

Very good points. Which is why this analysis should be done a city by city basis, not state by state.

Florida sucks

Hi Mercy, how's It going? I wanna do the process

Good luck

Without writing the NCLEX? No way

@@setordzisylvia7401 if u read my comment again you will see that I clearly stated RN in the US. This clearly means I sat and passed the NCLEX👌

@@setordzisylvia7401 kindly read over my comment again.. you would understand that I have written my nclex and passed… you all read to comment and not to understand

Unfortunately cost of living and salaries change on a daily basis. So, a location that may have been worth moving to last year may not be worth moving to this year. But one thing that does remain consistent is that California still makes the most financial sense because it has the largest number of cities where the salaries are high and cost of living is relatively low in comparison.

@@NursesToRiches thank you. Would appreciate the updated vid!

@@bigdeznotlil OK, I'll work on it for sure 👍

Virginia also doesn't pay too well, so that may have something to do with it.

@@NursesToRiches True, especially compared to living expenses. A lot of people work 2-3 jobs or just scrape by 😟

No, thank you!

Hmm but we have to ask: are they working two jobs because they are living above their means or is it because they're not earning enough to meet the needs of someone who spends modestly?

@NursesToRiches we don't make enough money with the high rent. The average rent for a two bedroom apartment is $2k a month. Unless you're in the hood.

It definitely is, which is why I always tell nurses to move to California (specifically Northern California) if they want to make more money, have nurse to patient ratios, and way more benefits than nurses have in any other state.

@@NursesToRiches there are more things to do here as well. btw i have a sister in law who works at kaiser morse, she referred your channel to me.

It is

I will be moving there soon

How about liberal policies? Like being pro-sex offender and being anti-bodily autonomy. I am an international nurse currently living in the UK and working on my move to the USA

The BLS collects data for nurses in every state but it does not categorize the nurses by specialty. However, if you follow the data and move to a city that has a low cost of living and high salaries overall for nurses, it is very likely that the Dialysis Nurses in the area will be paid high as well because the wages must remain competitive in order to maintain a healthy level of employment.

Let us know how it goes once you've settled there!

I would like to know how it's going as well.

Me to I plan to move to Nevada

Yes, it's for RNs. I would say get your RN license if you can. It'll increase your salary by more than you would believe.

@@NursesToRiches lol right thats where I struggle I create more debt to get outta debt but it is what it is.

Not in all cases. Washington, for example, has some cities (like Bellevue) with median salaries in the $102,000 range, but the cost of living is insanely high there. So, you need to consider more factors than just tax or no tax state and salaries in order to determine if moving to another state is a good decision. At the end of the day, what I think nurses should do is look for the best cities to work and live in, not just the best states. This is because the state alone does not provide an accurate representation of how much happier (or financially secure) you would be if you lived and worked there.

Thank you sooo much!

If your goal is to live in a place that will make you happy, and making more money is not the objective, go ahead and move to North Carolina.

Yes I am

No it doesnt. Nj and conneticut do

I have heard in Texas you can reduce property taxes. Forgot the name, but there's one that you can apply if you meet certain requirements.

That's interesting. I just looked in up and it's called a "homestead exemption". Apparently other states have homestead exemptions as well but Texas allows its residents to claim exemptions for various reasons. Here's the text: "What property qualifies as a "homestead?" A “homestead” is a house or other residential structure that you own, together with up to 20 acres where the structure sits if the land is used for residential purposes. A manufactured home on a rented lot qualifies as long as you own the home. Manufactured homes must meet additional requirements for a "Statement of Ownership and Location," but if you did not receive the paperwork from the prior owner and cannot locate the seller after making a good faith effort, you can submit the affidavit in Form 114-A. Who is eligible for a homestead exemption? General residence homestead exemption. You are eligible for a homestead exemption if you (1) own your home (partial ownership counts), (2) the home is your principal residence, and (3) you have a Texas driver’s license or Texas-issued personal identification certificate (your I.D. card address must match your principal residence address). Homeowners who qualify for a general residence homestead exemption are also eligible for the following exemptions if they meet these criteria: Over 65 exemption: For homeowners 65 and older. If you are over 65 when you die, your surviving spouse, if they are 55 or older, will get your over-65 exemption. Disability exemption: For homeowners (not their children) who have a disability that would qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. If you are a senior with a disability, you can take only one of the exemptions. Veteran exemption: For veterans with a disability, their spouses and survivors, and spouses and survivors of military personnel killed on active duty. The amount of the exemption depends on the percentage of service-connected disability. 100% disabled equals 100% exemption. How much will I save with the homestead exemption? How much you save with the homestead exemption depends on the exemption amounts and tax levels adopted by your city, county, and other local governments. A homestead valued at $200,000 with a 20% exemption ($40,000) means you pay property taxes as if your home were valued at $160,000. Once you obtain an over-65 or disabled exemption, your school taxes are frozen (meaning they do not increase) until your home is no longer your primary residence."

@@NursesToRiches You can claim an exemption when you reach 65. They will reduce it a little. It is never a total exemption. You can also protest the taxes every year if you can provide evidence that what they are charging is above what it should be.

@@NursesToRiches Your house you own and reside in.

Well as a veteran who has 100% disability and nursing student, i dont pay property tax

Agreed.
