State Insights
Illinois at a Glance
Part-time NP roles in Illinois generally pay $60–$100 per hour and run 16–32 scheduled hours weekly, with prorated benefits at larger health systems and none at smaller practices. The structure is popular for clinicians maintaining a private practice on the side or stepping down from a full caseload. 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. Top metros in Illinois are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 4 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
Illinois requires a written collaborative agreement for PMHNPs.
