State Insights
Illinois at a Glance
CRNA positions across Illinois carry the highest APRN pay bands — typically $180K–$250K+. Compensation varies with call burden and with whether the practice runs a supervision-based or independent CRNA model. Illinois grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. The 5 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for nurse practitioners across Illinois, alongside the state's reimbursement structure and employer mix.
