Vermont, RN or LPNMoving from Nevada to Vermont as a registered or practical nurse
What a registered or practical nurse licensed in Nevada has to do to work in Vermont, what the move does to your pay, and who in Vermont is hiring from out of state.
Endorsement, six to twelve weeks. Nevada is not in the compact, so your Nevada licence is single-state. Apply to the Vermont 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 Vermont 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.
What the move does to your paycheck
On a $60,000 salary Vermont takes roughly $3,675 a year more than Nevada does, because you are leaving a state with no income tax on wages.
| Salary | Nevada state tax | Vermont state tax | Difference a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $0 | $2,450 | -$2,450 |
| $60,000 | $0 | $3,675 | -$3,675 |
| $90,000 | $0 | $5,513 | -$5,513 |
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 Vermont
Transfers by reciprocity. Your Nevada certificate stays on the Nevada State Board of Nursing, Certified Nursing Assistant program; to work in Vermont you apply to the Vermont Board of Nursing (Licensed Nursing Assistant) for reciprocity. Vermont licenses nursing assistants; an out-of-state CNA applies for an LNA licence by endorsement. Most registries list you within two to six weeks.
Electrician: Nevada to Vermont
Exam likely. Vermont licenses at state level through the Vermont Division of Fire Safety, Electrical Licensing 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 Vermont journeyman exam.
CDL: Nevada to Vermont
Transfers at the DMV. A commercial driver's licence transfers like any licence: within 30 days of becoming a Vermont resident you surrender the Nevada CDL at a Vermont 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 Vermont. Your driving record follows you through the federal CDLIS system.
