Kansas Overview
Working as an NP in Kansas
Kansas currently has 4 active nurse practitioner postings from 3 employers, with hiring concentrated in Fort Riley, Lawrence, and Overland Park. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time and Psychiatric Mental Health. On the regulatory side, AANP places Kansas in its full practice category. AANP uses this category where state law lets NPs evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and initiate and manage treatment, including prescribing medications and controlled substances, under the exclusive licensure authority of the state board of nursing. Some of these states first require a transition period. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the Kansas rules themselves before applying. No median is published for Kansas postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. Kansas's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Kansas.
Posted pay in Kansas
2 postings in Kansas state a salary. A state median appears once at least 5 postings from at least 3 employers do, 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).
