Nurse Practitioner Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nurse practitioner in Virginia?

To become a nurse practitioner in Virginia, you must earn a Master of Science in Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Practice from an accredited program, pass a national board certification exam through either the American Association of Nurse Practitioners or the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and then apply for licensure through the Virginia Board of Nursing. Virginia also requires a separate prescriptive authority registration with the Virginia Board of Pharmacy before you can prescribe medications independently.

How much do nurse practitioners make in Virginia?

Nurse practitioners 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 nurse practitioners in Virginia?

Employers hiring nurse practitioners in Virginia right now include University of Virginia, GoHealth Urgent Care, and サイネオス・ヘルス, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's mix of large academic medical centers, community health networks, and federally qualified health centers means openings appear across both urban cores and rural service areas throughout the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most nurse practitioner jobs?

Richmond, Charlottesville, and Fairfax consistently post the highest number of nurse practitioner openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of hospital systems and specialty practices drives volume in that corridor, Richmond's role as a hub for VCU Health and a dense network of outpatient clinics sustains strong demand, and Hampton Roads sees steady hiring through Sentara Healthcare and the region's large active-duty and veteran population.

Are there remote nurse practitioner jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. About 32% of nurse practitioner openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting that most NP roles require direct patient contact. The sub-specialties most likely to offer remote or telehealth arrangements are psychiatry and behavioral health, where Virginia-licensed providers can conduct video appointments for patients across the state.

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

The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate NP residency or fellowship program, and Virginia has several. Inova Health System and VCU Health both run structured NP residency programs designed for candidates who graduated recently and lack independent practice hours. Candidates who come from an experienced RN background in the ICU, emergency department, or a specialty unit tend to be competitive even without post-certification experience, because employers value that clinical foundation. Completing your Virginia Board of Pharmacy prescriptive authority registration before you apply removes a common onboarding delay and signals readiness.

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

You can find and apply to nurse practitioner jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each position through the listing.
