Nurse Navigator Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nurse navigator in Pennsylvania?
You must first hold an active registered nurse license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, which requires passing the NCLEX-RN. Most Pennsylvania employers then require clinical nursing experience before moving into a navigation role. Earning a specialty certification, such as the Oncology Certified Nurse credential, strengthens your candidacy significantly and is often preferred by large Pennsylvania health systems for navigation positions.
How much do nurse navigators make in Pennsylvania?
Nurse navigators in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nurse navigators in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring nurse navigators in Pennsylvania right now include Penn State Health, Geisinger, and Penn Medicine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated systems and academic medical centers drive consistent demand for nurse navigators year-round across multiple specialty programs.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most nurse navigator jobs?
Philadelphia, Hershey, and Camp Hill have the most nurse navigator openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh dominate because of their dense concentrations of academic medical centers and large integrated health networks, while Allentown and surrounding Lehigh Valley communities see strong demand driven by the expanding Lehigh Valley Health Network and regional growth in specialty care services.
Are there remote nurse navigator jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since nurse navigation often involves direct patient interaction, in-person rounds, and on-site coordination with clinical teams. About 0% of nurse navigator openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The portions of the role most likely to be remote are telephonic follow-up, patient education sessions, and administrative care planning work.
How can I get hired as a nurse navigator in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a clinical nursing role, such as a staff RN in oncology, cardiology, or case management, into a navigator position at the same employer. UPMC and Penn Medicine both run structured nurse residency and transition-to-specialty programs that candidates can use to build relevant experience before applying. Earning the OCN certification early and volunteering for care coordination duties in your current unit signals readiness to Pennsylvania hiring managers.
