Illinois Overview
Working as an NP in Illinois
Illinois currently has 48 active nurse practitioner postings from 10 employers, with hiring concentrated in Chicago, Winfield, and Huntley. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time, Inpatient, and Acute Care. On the regulatory side, AANP places Illinois in its reduced practice category. AANP uses this category where state law reduces the ability of NPs to engage in at least one element of NP practice, for example through a regulated collaborative agreement with another health provider or a limit on the setting of one or more elements of NP practice. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the Illinois rules themselves before applying. No median is published for Illinois postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. Illinois is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a Illinois RN license by endorsement.
Posted pay in Illinois
14 postings in Illinois state a salary from 7 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
4 of 48 open roles are remote, 7 are hybrid and 37 are on site.
Where employers list a schedule, Full-Time leads with 41, then Contract (2).
Remote roles still name the states they require licensure in, so check each posting before applying.
