California Overview
Working as an NP in California
California currently has 102 active nurse practitioner postings from 10 employers, with hiring concentrated in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time, Psychiatric Mental Health, and Remote. On the regulatory side, AANP places California in its restricted practice category. AANP uses this category where state law restricts the ability of NPs to engage in at least one element of NP practice, for example through supervision, delegation or team management by another health provider. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the California rules themselves before applying. No median is published for California postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a California RN license by endorsement.
Posted pay in California
87 postings in California state a salary from 8 employers. A state median appears once at least 5 postings from at least 3 employers list annual pay for an NP role, with no single employer above 40% of them. The national median for nurse practitioners is $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025).
Work mode and schedule
22 of 102 open roles are remote, 34 are hybrid and 46 are on site.
Where employers list a schedule, Full-Time leads with 81, then Part-Time (12) and Per Diem (4).
Remote roles still name the states they require licensure in, so check each posting before applying.
