License and tax basics
Tennessee is in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a multistate license from another compact state covers work in Knoxville. Tennessee does not tax wage income at the state level. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply, so your take-home pay is higher than the same gross pay in a state that taxes wages. Travel assignments add a second question, your tax home, which decides whether housing and meals stipends are tax-free. Run your own numbers in the take-home pay calculator and the travel nurse pay calculator.
