NP Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a np in Texas?

To become an np in Texas, you must first complete a master's or doctoral nursing program and pass a national board certification exam through the AANP or ANCC. You then apply for advanced practice registered nurse licensure through the Texas Board of Nursing and register your prescriptive authority with the Texas Medical Board if you plan to prescribe medications. Texas requires NPs to maintain a practice agreement with a collaborating physician for prescriptive authority.

Which companies hire nps in Texas?

Employers hiring nps in Texas right now include TeamHealth, Houston Methodist, and Baylor Scott & White Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and expanding urgent care and retail clinic networks consistently post the highest volume of np openings across the state.

Which Texas cities have the most np jobs?

Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most np openings in Texas, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems, academic medical centers, and specialty group practices in those metros. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth account for the largest share due to their overall population size and the density of employers like HCA Healthcare, Baylor Scott & White, and large multispecialty groups based in those areas.

Are there remote np jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. The hands-on, patient-facing nature of most np work means the majority of roles are on-site or clinic-based. About 29% of np openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to cluster in telehealth, behavioral health, and care management roles where patient interaction can happen virtually.

How can I get hired as a np in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate NP residency or fellowship programs, which large Texas employers including UT Health and Baylor Scott & White run specifically for candidates without post-certification experience. Targeting rural or underserved community health centers through the Texas Association of Community Health Centers is another strong option, as these sites often hire new graduates. Completing your clinical rotations at a Texas health system and maintaining a current collaborative practice agreement already in place strengthens any application.

Where can I find and apply to np jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to np jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers across the state. Search the roles available, find the ones that fit your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly.
