Using This Page

How to use this page

Listings here are grouped by employment arrangement, classified from each listing's own wording. Pay can be stated per year, per hour or per shift, so compare offers on the same basis, and check each listing for benefits, malpractice coverage and guaranteed hours. Confirm the arrangement with the employer before you accept.

Before You Apply

What You Need to Know

01

State Licensure

Hold an active APRN license in the state where the assignment sits. Agencies often help with the application and the credentialing that follows.

02

Credentialing Docs

Keep your CV, references, certifications, and malpractice history ready so credentialing does not hold up a start date.

03

Tax Planning

Set up a tax home and track travel expenses, and confirm the treatment of any stipend with a tax professional.

04

Housing Stipend

Decide between a housing stipend and agency-provided housing based on the assignment location.

FAQ

Locum Tenens NP Questions

What is a locum tenens NP?

A locum tenens NP is a nurse practitioner who fills a temporary staffing need at a healthcare facility, usually through an agency. Each assignment states its own length, setting and rate, and many add housing, travel reimbursement and malpractice coverage on top of the hourly rate.

What do locum tenens NP assignments pay?

Across 492 listings from 44 employers that state an annual salary, the median posted pay is $129K. The middle half of those listings fall between $98K and $175K. Locum work is usually quoted per hour, and a stipend or covered travel changes what an assignment is worth, so compare offers on the same basis.

Do locum tenens NPs get benefits?

Agencies differ. Some offer health insurance, a retirement plan, malpractice coverage, continuing education reimbursement, housing stipends and travel allowances. Others cover far less. What is included also depends on the assignment length, so ask the agency to set it out in writing.

What are the licensing requirements for locum tenens NP work?

A locum tenens NP needs an active APRN license in the state where each assignment is located. Many agencies help with state licensure and credentialing for a new assignment, and some reimburse the application fees.

Is locum tenens work good for new graduate NPs?

It can work for a new graduate who is confident clinically, but onboarding on an assignment is short and agencies often ask for prior practice experience. A first role that names mentorship and supervision is usually the safer start.
