Entry Level Nurse Practitioner Or Physician Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistant job?

Employers hiring at the entry level look for completed clinical hours, a current license or board certification, and evidence of hands-on patient care from rotations or internships. A focused cover letter that names your specialty area and clinical setting gives you an edge. Residency or fellowship programs designed for new graduates are worth pursuing, as they provide supervised practice and are increasingly recognized by health systems as a strong hiring pathway.

Which companies hire entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistants?

Companies hiring entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistants right now include Signify Health, Optum, and Concentra, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Health systems, urgent care networks, and federally qualified health centers are among the most active employers at this experience level, as they frequently run structured new-graduate onboarding programs.

Are there remote entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs?

Yes, though most clinical roles require in-person patient care. About 3% of entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and these tend to be in telehealth, care management, or utilization review rather than direct bedside practice. Checking the work-setting filter helps you find openings that match your preference.

Are these new grad nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs?

Yes. The listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles alongside other entry level postings. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts clinical rotation hours in place of post-graduation work history, or explicitly invites candidates completing a residency or fellowship. If a posting mentions a structured orientation or mentorship program, that is a reliable signal it is open to new graduates.

Which industries hire the most entry level nurse practitioner or physician assistants?

Entry Level nurse practitioner or physician assistant roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Insurance, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they have high patient volume, ongoing staffing needs, and the infrastructure to onboard and supervise newly licensed advanced practice providers.
