Nebraska, ElectricianMoving from Nevada to Nebraska as a journeyman electrician
What a journeyman electrician licensed in Nevada has to do to work in Nebraska, what the move does to your pay, and who in Nebraska is hiring from out of state.
Exam likely. Nebraska licenses at state level through the Nebraska State Electrical Division and reciprocates with other state boards, but Nevada licenses locally through the Nevada State Contractors Board, which is not a party to those agreements. Expect to document your hours and sit the Nebraska journeyman exam.
What the move does to your paycheck
On a $60,000 salary Nebraska takes roughly $2,184 a year more than Nevada does, because you are leaving a state with no income tax on wages.
| Salary | Nevada state tax | Nebraska state tax | Difference a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $0 | $1,456 | -$1,456 |
| $60,000 | $0 | $2,184 | -$2,184 |
| $90,000 | $0 | $3,276 | -$3,276 |
Rough figures for a single filer: exact in the flat-rate and no-tax states, approximated at 70% of the top bracket in the progressive ones. Property and sales tax are not in it.
CNA: Nevada to Nebraska
Transfers by reciprocity. Your Nevada certificate stays on the Nevada State Board of Nursing, Certified Nursing Assistant program; to work in Nebraska you apply to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Nurse Aide Registry for reciprocity. It accepts an active certificate in good standing from another state; there is no retest if your record is clean. Most registries list you within two to six weeks.
RN and LPN: Nevada to Nebraska
Endorsement, six to twelve weeks. Nevada is not in the compact, so your Nevada licence is single-state. Apply to the Nebraska board for licensure by endorsement (Nursys verification, fingerprints, the board's fee); six to twelve weeks is normal, so start before you give notice. Because Nebraska is a compact state, ask for the new licence to be issued as a multistate licence: from then on it works in every compact state.
CDL: Nevada to Nebraska
Transfers at the DMV. A commercial driver's licence transfers like any licence: within 30 days of becoming a Nebraska resident you surrender the Nevada CDL at a Nebraska driver licence office, pass the vision test, pay the fee, and your endorsements carry over. A hazmat endorsement needs a fresh TSA threat assessment in Nebraska. Your driving record follows you through the federal CDLIS system.
Does Nebraska pay you to come?
