Travel nurses
On a Memphis contract, none of your pay goes to a state income tax.

Experienced nurses
Baptist Memorial, Methodist Le Bonheur, and St. Jude are in the same market if you later want another Memphis badge without leaving town.

More about Where the Heart Is, Inc.
Tennessee will not withhold state income tax, and it is a compact-license state. Memphis prices sit about 8% under the national level. A usual drive across the metro is about 22 minutes; people looking at a 30-to-40-minute commute often start in Bartlett, east of the city, or just over the line in North Mississippi. Downtown and Midtown feel different from each other if you want to live closer in. Baptist Memorial, Methodist Le Bonheur, St. Jude, Lakeside Behavioral, Signature HealthCARE of Primacy, and Tenet are also hiring in this market. You will hear about music, barbecue, parks, and rent you can live on. You will also hear about crime, tired infrastructure, and traffic. If you apply, ask what the shift actually looks like and what they pay — those answers are not on paper yet.
