State Insights
California at a Glance
Pediatric NP roles in California span primary-care pediatrics, children's hospitals, and school-based programs. Acute-care PNP positions cluster around the state's larger children's facilities. California grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in California are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 1 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
California requires physician supervision for PMHNPs. Recent legislation (AB 890) is phasing in expanded practice authority through 2026.
