NP Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a np in Pennsylvania?
To practice as an NP in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active registered nurse license and a separate NP license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited graduate-level NP program and passing a recognized national certification exam such as the AANP or ANCC boards. Pennsylvania NPs practice under a collaborative agreement with a physician, so securing that agreement is a required step before independent clinical work begins.
Which companies hire nps in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring nps in Pennsylvania right now include WellSpan Health, GoHealth Urgent Care, and Geisinger, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, including academic medical centers and regional community hospital networks, account for a significant share of ongoing NP openings across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most np jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg lead Pennsylvania for np openings. Philadelphia dominates due to its concentration of major academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and outpatient networks, while Pittsburgh's hiring is driven by UPMC and Allegheny Health Network, and Allentown benefits from Lehigh Valley Health Network's large regional footprint.
Are there remote np jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. NP roles are primarily hands-on clinical positions that require an in-person patient presence, so fully remote opportunities are limited. About 31% of np openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with the remote-eligible subset concentrated in telehealth, utilization review, and care management roles rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a np in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
New graduate NPs in Pennsylvania have the best results applying to new-grad residency or fellowship programs, which UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Geisinger Health System all operate for NPs entering specialty and acute care settings. Entry points through urgent care networks and community health centers are also realistic, as are lateral moves from experienced RN or CNS roles where clinical background partially offsets limited NP practice hours. Securing your Pennsylvania collaborative agreement early and completing your national board certification before applying strengthens every application.
Where can I find and apply to np jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to np jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings across health systems, outpatient practices, and specialty clinics. Find a role that fits and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
