What the day-to-day looks like
What stands out
Experienced nurses
A local listing has you on five eight-hour shifts from Sunday evening through early Friday, so the days run shorter than a 12-hour block and the week has a weekday shape.
Moving here
Oskaloosa — people call it Osky — is a historic, family-friendly Iowa town with a well-below-average cost of living and a close-knit feel.
Moving here
Iowa is a compact-license state with a flat income tax around 3.8%, so a move here does not mean another licensing exam or a steep state tax bite.
Travel nurses
Because Iowa is a compact-license state, your multistate license can come with you if you pick up time in Oskaloosa.

More about Homestead of Oskaloosa
It is historic and small, the kind of place where residents talk about safety and neighbors who still wave, and where you park a car to reach the grocery store, Edmundson Park, or Lake Keomah. The only schedule that has turned up is five eight-hour shifts starting Sunday evening and running through early Friday. That line comes from a local newspaper page that was cut off mid-thought, so you will want them to walk you through a real week before you plan around Friday nights. Next to the Homestead name, the same page printed Imagine the Possibilities and then the copy ran out. Iowa is a compact-license state with a flat income tax around 3.8%, and the cost of living in Oskaloosa sits well below average. Weekends in town lean on William Penn University, the Southern Iowa Fair, Sweet Corn Serenade, and the Lighted Christmas Parade. Pay, staffing ratios, and benefits for Homestead itself are not in the public postings on record. Nearby names in the same market include SunnyBrook HomeCare and Recover-Care Heartland.
