Texas ranks well: no income tax and below-average rent stretch the check further than several higher-posted states. Each state links through to its own salary page.

Comparing Minnesota metros on pay
Minneapolis-St. Paul carries most of Minnesota's travel work, with Rochester, anchored by Mayo Clinic, and Duluth adding steady volume. The Twin Cities cost more than greater Minnesota, where rents ease well below the metro.

Breaking down the Minnesota weekly rate
Minnesota pay holds above the national midpoint, but a contract's structure still shapes take-home. A weekly rate combines a taxed base with housing and meal stipends that stay untaxed, so the stipend share shapes net pay more than the headline figure.
Hourly base, the wage portion of the rate
Housing stipend, a weekly housing allowance
Meals & incidentals, a daily meals allowance
The actual mix varies by contract, agency, and location.
Where Minnesota pay stands after expenses
Minnesota's cost of living runs a bit above the national average, with the Twin Cities carrying the highest rents and greater Minnesota easing off. A graduated state income tax, among the higher ones in the Midwest, applies to the base. The figures below weigh a rate against local costs.

Questions about Minnesota travel nursing
Can I work in Minnesota on a compact license yet?
No. Minnesota has not joined the Nurse Licensure Compact yet, so a Minnesota RN license is required even if you hold a multistate license. Applications can be filed ahead of a start date, and doing so early keeps processing off your timeline. Build the license into the plan first; the market is worth the paperwork.
What does Mayo Clinic mean for Minnesota travelers?
A steady high-acuity market in Rochester. Mayo anchors consistent specialty and critical-care demand in a smaller city, a different proposition from the Twin Cities' breadth. Travelers targeting marquee academic experience aim at Rochester specifically, while those wanting a range of units, systems, and start dates stay with Minneapolis-St. Paul. Housing runs cheaper in Rochester than in the metro.
How high is Minnesota's income tax?
Among the higher ones in the Midwest. The graduated rate applies to the taxable base, while the housing and meal share stays outside income tax, which makes that untaxed portion especially important to your net here. Greater Minnesota's lower rents offset some of the bite; Twin Cities assignments lean harder on the stipend share to protect take-home.
Twin Cities or greater Minnesota for an assignment?
The Twin Cities for choice, greater Minnesota for costs. Minneapolis-St. Paul carries most contracts through M Health Fairview, Allina Health, and HealthPartners, with the widest range of specialties and start dates. Duluth and the regional markets trade choice for rents well below metro levels. Rochester sits apart as its own Mayo-anchored category with steady specialty demand.
What settings post most often in the Twin Cities?
A broad academic-community mix. M Health Fairview pairs with the University of Minnesota for academic acuity, while Allina Health and HealthPartners post large community volume across the metro. Advantis staffs all three. Both profiles recur, so specify the environment you want early, and confirm float and charting details in the interview as you would in any market.
