State Insights
Washington at a Glance
Independent-contractor (1099) NP roles in Washington pay $75–$150+ per hour without benefits or employer-paid malpractice.

Washington grants full practice authority — independent prescribing without physician oversight, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Washington are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 2 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
