South Carolina Overview
Working as an NP in South Carolina
South Carolina currently has 12 active nurse practitioner postings from 5 employers, with hiring concentrated in Columbia, Cayce, and Charleston. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Psychiatric Mental Health, Full-Time, and Remote. On the regulatory side, AANP places South Carolina 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 South Carolina rules themselves before applying. No median is published for South Carolina postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. South Carolina's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by South Carolina.
Posted pay in South Carolina
8 postings in South Carolina state a salary, but they come from only 2 employers. A state median appears once postings from at least 3 employers do. The national median for nurse practitioners is $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025).
Work mode and schedule
3 of 12 open roles are remote, 7 are hybrid and 2 are on site.
Where employers list a schedule, Full-Time leads with 9, then Contract (2) and Part-Time (1).
Remote roles still name the states they require licensure in, so check each posting before applying.
