Advanced Practice Provider Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a advanced practice provider in Virginia?
To work as an advanced practice provider in Virginia, you must hold a graduate nursing degree and obtain licensure through the Virginia Board of Nursing as a Registered Nurse, then apply for recognition as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in your chosen role category. National certification from an accredited body such as ANCC or AANP is required for APRN recognition. Nurse practitioners seeking prescribing privileges must also register for prescriptive authority with the Board of Nursing.
How much do advanced practice providers make in Virginia?
Advanced practice providers in Virginia earn a median of about $127,810 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $99,990 for the lowest 10% to over $161,470 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire advanced practice providers in Virginia?
Employers hiring advanced practice providers in Virginia right now include University of Virginia, Riverside Health, and Inova Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's concentration of large integrated health systems, federally qualified health centers, and military treatment facilities means consistent openings across a wide range of practice settings throughout the state.
Which Virginia cities have the most advanced practice provider jobs?
Charlottesville, Newport News, and Fairfax account for the greatest concentration of advanced practice provider openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's proximity to federal agencies and major health networks drives volume there, while Richmond's role as a regional medical hub anchors demand in the central part of the state, and Norfolk's large military and academic medical infrastructure sustains steady hiring in the Hampton Roads area.
Are there remote advanced practice provider jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Advanced practice provider work is inherently hands-on and clinic-based, which limits fully remote opportunities. About 38% of advanced practice provider openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and the roles most likely to offer any remote component are in telehealth psychiatry and chronic disease management where patient visits can be conducted virtually.
How can I get hired as a advanced practice provider in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate APRN residency or fellowship program, several of which are offered by large Virginia health systems such as Inova and VCU Health specifically to bridge the gap between graduate education and independent practice. Candidates who enter from adjacent roles such as registered nursing or physician assistant assisting can leverage that clinical background when applying for junior or associate-level advanced practice openings. Completing your Virginia APRN recognition and national certification before applying gives your application an immediate edge over candidates still in process.
Where can I find and apply to advanced practice provider jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to advanced practice provider jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across health systems, specialty clinics, and federal facilities. Find the roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
