State Insights
Illinois at a Glance
Cardiology NP openings across Illinois split between heart-failure and device clinics and inpatient consult services, typically paying $110K–$150K. Hybrid clinic-plus-hospital roles usually add call stipends and weekend differentials on top of base pay. 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.
