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. The 4 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for nurse practitioners across Illinois, alongside the state's reimbursement structure and employer mix.
