Nurse Practitioner Jobs in Hawaii: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nurse practitioner in Hawaii?

To practice as a nurse practitioner in Hawaii, you must hold an active RN license from the Hawaii Board of Nursing, complete a graduate-level NP program accredited by CCNE or ACEN, and pass a national certification exam through ANCC or AANP in your chosen specialty. You then apply for an advanced practice registered nurse license directly with the Hawaii Board of Nursing, which also grants prescriptive authority. Hawaii does not participate in the NP Compact, so a state-specific license is required.

How much do nurse practitioners make in Hawaii?

Nurse practitioners in Hawaii earn a median of about $135,570 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $106,450 for the lowest 10% to over $174,350 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire nurse practitioners in Hawaii?

Hawaii nurse practitioner roles are posted by Bristol Hospice, SP Health Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hawaii's hiring is anchored by large integrated health systems, federally qualified health centers serving rural and underserved communities across the islands, and Department of Defense or Veterans Affairs facilities tied to the state's significant military presence.

Which Hawaii cities have the most nurse practitioner jobs?

Honolulu, Kailua-Kona, and Hawaii account for the largest share of nurse practitioner openings in Hawaii. Honolulu drives the majority of listings as the home of the state's largest hospital systems and specialty clinics, while Hilo serves as the primary employment center on the Big Island through its regional medical center, and Kailua-Kona reflects growing outpatient and urgent care expansion on the west side of Hawaii Island.

Are there remote nurse practitioner jobs in Hawaii?

Yes, but they're rare. About 17% of nurse practitioner openings tied to Hawaii are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most NP roles require direct patient care in a clinical setting. The exceptions are telehealth positions focused on psychiatric-mental health, chronic disease management, or follow-up consultations, which represent the segment of Hawaii NP work most likely to be conducted remotely.

How can I get hired as a nurse practitioner in Hawaii with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate NP residency or fellowship programs, which Hawaii Pacific Health and The Queens Health System have offered in primary care and hospital medicine settings. Candidates coming from RN backgrounds in emergency, ICU, or med-surg nursing are well-positioned for acute care NP roles where clinical experience translates directly. Completing your Hawaii APRN license and DEA registration before applying, and targeting federally qualified health centers that routinely hire newer graduates for underserved community sites, strengthens your candidacy considerably.

Where can I find and apply to nurse practitioner jobs in Hawaii?

You can find and apply to nurse practitioner jobs in Hawaii on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Hawaii employers. Search the listings by specialty or location, identify the roles that match your license, certification, and clinical background, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
