Press & Data Room

These are the national statistics that appear across our salary and licensure pages. Every page that quotes one shows the value below, with the same "as of" date:

Practice authority across the 50 states and DC

We maintain a per-jurisdiction classification of Nurse Practitioner practice authority, based on the AANP State Practice Environment. The split below comes from that dataset:

The full-practice count includes the District of Columbia, which is why it reads one higher than the "27 states + DC" phrasing in the table above. Each state's rule is in our scope of practice explorer, and what each classification means is explained in our practice-authority guide.

The figures below count the open listings on NP Hiring when this page was generated. They describe this board only, not the national job market.

Counted with the same filter the /jobs browse pages use: published, unexpired, not flagged as a repeatedly dead source link, and with out-of-scope (non-NP) roles excluded. If you need a breakdown by specialty, state, or setting, ask and we will run it.

Longer-form analyses of the same data, with sample gates and methodology on each page. Start at the reports hub:

• The State of NP Hiring 2026
• NP Job Pay Transparency: Our Numbers, Live

• Salary, growth, and shortage figures come from federal sources. We republish them unchanged, with attribution to the sources named in the table.
• Practice-authority classifications are a curated dataset. We maintain the per-state mapping from the professional-association source above. Legislatures change these rules, so check the "as of" date before quoting.
• Listing aggregates describe this board, not the labor market. Pay ranges from our postings reflect what employers advertised on NP Hiring, and only postings that state a salary are counted. They are labeled as posting-derived wherever they appear.
• Figures we cannot compute are left out, not estimated.
• Certification bodies are attributed per specialty. AANPCB (operating as NPCB) or ANCC for NP certification, NBCRNA for nurse anesthetists, and AMCB for certified nurse-midwives.

The longer version, covering how our pages are produced, our correction policy, and our clinical review status, is on the editorial policy page.
